Color Mortar – Controls the color of the mortar. This channel can also be controlled by a texture map.

Color Tiles – Controls the color of the tiles. This channel can also be controlled by a texture map.

Horizontal Count – Controls the horizontal tile count. For more details, please see the Horizontal Count examples below.

Vertical Count – Controls the vertical tile count. For more details, please see the Vertical Count examples below.

Color Variance – Controls the amount of color variety in the tiles. For more details, please see the Color Variance examples below.

Fade Variance – Controls how faded the color from the Color Variance.

Horizontal Gap – Controls the size of the horizontal gap between the tiles. For more details, please see the Horizontal Gap examples below.

Vertical Gap – Controls the size of the vertical gap between the tiles. For more details, please see the Vertical Gap examples below.

Holes % – Controls the percentage of tiles that are missing. For more details, please see the Holes Percentage examples below.

Edge Roughness – Controls how rough the edges of each tile are. For more details, please see the Edge Roughness examples below.

Random Seed – Used to generate the procedural Tiles Texture. This value can control Holes, Color Variance, Fade Variance, and Random Shift. For more details, please see the Random Seed examples below.

Line Shift – Controls the amount of shift between each line of tiles.

Random Shift – Controls the amount of shift between each of the tiles.

Row Modify – When enabled, the custom parameters are used.

Column Modify – When enabled, the custom parameters are used.
