Toggles the effect of the layer on and off. This duplicates the functionality of toggling visibility in the Shader Tree. When disabled, the layer has no effect on the shading of the scene. However, Modo saves disabled layers with the scene, and they are persistent across Modo sessions.

Inverts the colors (RGB values) for the layer to produce a negative effect.

Affects the blending between different layers of the same effect type. With this, you can stack several layers for different effects.

For more about blending, see Layer Blend Modes.

Changes the transparency of the current layer. If there are layers below this layer in the Shader Tree, reducing this value increasingly reveals the lower layers. Reducing the value always dims the effect of the layer.

Sets the association for the Texture Locator. Most texture layers have a Texture Locator that Modo automatically creates in the Item List. This defines the mapping of the texture (how Modo applies the texture) to the surface. You can specify alternate locators, but this is normally not required. Although you may want multiple texture items to share a single locator.

Defines how a texture/material is applied to a 3D surface. Types vary significantly in their effects. For a guide to each Projection Type see Sorry you didn't find this helpful.

Specifies the initial number Modo uses when generating the procedural values. Different Seed values produce different random variations and can be useful in changing the texture result; however, you need to use the same Seed value when you want items to retain the same variations.

Sets the minimum distance between the windows in the horizontal direction.

Sets the maximum distance between the windows in the horizontal direction.

Sets the minimum distance between the windows in the vertical direction.

Sets the maximum distance between the windows in the vertical direction.

Specifies the number of windows that are 'on' and, therefore, visible.

Controls the edge smoothness of the windows. When you set this to a low value, the transition between the windows and the background color is very strong. The transition becomes smoother as you increase the value.

Determines the number of times the pattern repeats in the U direction (horizontally).

Determines the number of times the pattern repeats in the V direction (vertically).

Specifies a clip level for the Background Color/Value to truncate values beyond the defined setting. Combined with the Upper Clip value, you can apply this option to extend or lessen the range of values for the texture.

Specifies a clip level for the Foreground Color/Value to truncate values beyond the defined setting. Combined with the Lower Clip value, you can apply this option to extend or lessen the range of values for the texture.

Determines whether the texture favors the foreground or background color. Increasing this value causes the texture to favor the foreground color; decreasing the value favors the background color.

Determines the falloff effect for the texture. This is similar to a gamma control that affects the falloff of the gradient ramp between the two color values. Setting the Gain to 100% creates a sharp falloff effect; setting the value to 0% creates a plateau around the value (or color mid-point) with a sharp falloff at either gradient extreme.

When enabled, outputs random gray shades per region rather than outlines for tiles. This adds random variety to the procedurally created texture. You can further control the amount of variation using the Regional HSV process layer.

Specifies the Color (or Value) of the texture's background area, which ramps toward the Foreground Color/Value.

Specifies the Alpha transparency of the Background Color.

When enabled, makes the Background Color area completely transparent to reveal the shading results of lower layers.

Specifies the Color (or Value) of the texture's foreground area, which ramps toward the Background Color/Value.

Specifies the Alpha transparency of the Foreground Color.
