in this lesson we're gonna take a look at the metal recheck report texture
so the checkerboard texter can be found inside the textures pull-down menu
so what scroll down
down toward the lower area you should see the it might be
checkerboard
so this is what we're gonna use
now this combi
uh... you simply apply it to me any of power
existing middle rate based readers
sofa reconnect this up to the diffuse
of are based reader
because he result here however
like a lot of these other texter knows this
particular chakraborty exter won't work just on its own
so we have to add a couple of extra nodes in here
one is the revamped
so this is what will allow us to change
the actual quartet's where the number of repeats that will happen in this checkerboard texter
uh... actual rematch notebook go into the coordinates slot
and now
into this read that noted
we need to plug in the texter vector
tool put that into the input
and now once these two notes are hooked up properly
we can get the
uh... result of this chica more texture
so let's take this
and make sure it's been applied to our plane
and take a quick record this
and now you can see the result
of this checkerboard texter
now if we want to get more of a pattern in here
all we have to do it is go back to the reenact noted
and now started increased the number of repeats
so let's say we went to this
five repeats across the board here
and let's just doublecheck to make sure that this is being applied correctly it looks like
it is
and they were dealt now we have to be basic checkerboard texter
now with this checkerboard texture we have the ability to actually uh... maintain a lot
of control over this
so we do have a lot more actually it's available to us then what we'd would normally have which
is the standard my ear checkerboard
so with this you can see how we can begin altering things like the x size
rather the
uh... vertical stripes
so you can see as we start to shrink those down
weekend either eliminate those completely
orchestrate the much much smaller
so we do have that capability
we can all sit at the same thing for the vertical stripes rather the horizontal stripes
so we can begin scaling these down
and altering those as we see fit
to a concert in a variety of patterns with this now the except to be really won't do
anything because this is strictly and x
why toward it
now down just a little we have the ability to start to influence the colors of all of
these various pieces
we can start to change
uh... the colors of these horizontal stripes
tofu wanted to be begins with a different color
we do have that capability
and we can also
uh... start to come in and change a lot of these attorneys as well
so we can start a influence the colors in these larger blocks
some of these you may not notice much of a change
you can see that we do have
of much greater level of control over this verses what we've would happen if we were
to normally just use the standard
maya checkerboard
however if you did just need a standard checkerboard pattern
most all of these mental ray basic his are fully compatible with the maya versions of
the shooters
so if you did just eat a standard checkerboard
all you need to do is just double click on this
uh... based return odan
and we want to pursue despues
and we can just use the standard maya
and there we go
so we can't go about this using that particular method if the situation calls for
so that's a look at the metal rate checkerboard texter
