Pattern Texture Generator

The Pattern Texture Generator is one of the texture generation editor tools that allows you to create a wide variety of procedural pattern textures directly inside Unity.

Open it via:

Gamelogic → Tools → Texture Generation → Pattern Texture Generator

Overview

The tool supports the following pattern types:

  • Checkerboard
  • White Noise
  • Multi-Channel White Noise
  • Color List Noise
  • HSL Color Map
  • Sine Grid

Each pattern offers its own set of controls, detailed below.

How It Works

  1. Select the Pattern Type.
  2. Adjust the Pattern Settings.
  3. Review the Preview (updates automatically).
  4. Click Save Texture to export as PNG.

Texture generation tools explain the workflow and global settings.

Pattern Types

Below are all available pattern types and their configurable properties.

CheckerBoard

Generates a two-color tiling pattern.

Control Range Description
Color 1 🎨 Color of the first tile.
Color 2 🎨 Color of the second tile.
Cell Dimensions Integers ≥ 1 Pixel width and height of each checker cell.

White Noise

Generates pure grayscale or color noise by interpolating between two colors.

Control Range Description
Color 1 🎨 Lower bound for noise interpolation.
Color 2 🎨 Upper bound for noise interpolation.

Multi-Channel White Noise

Generates independent white noise for Red, Green, and Blue, with channel isolation options.

Control Range Description
Value Range (Min) [–1, 1] Minimum sampling range for noise values.
Value Range (Max) [–1, 1] Maximum sampling range for noise values.
Channel View {All, Red, Green, Blue} Choose which channel(s) to visualize.

Color List Noise

Creates noise where each pixel is randomly assigned either a background color or a color chosen from a customizable list.

Control Range Description
Background Color 🎨 Base color for most pixels.
Foreground Colors 🎨* Editable list of possible foreground colors.
Foreground Probability [0, 1] Probability that a pixel uses a foreground color instead of the background.

HSL Color

Generates an HSL-inspired color sheet:

  • Horizontal axis: Hue
  • Vertical axis: Lightness (Black → Hue → White)
Control Range Description
(No additional controls) – Texture is fully determined by UV mapping.

Sine Grid

Creates a sine-wave interference pattern using sin(x) * sin(y).

Control Range Description
Frequency [0, ∞] Number of oscillations across the texture.
Color 1 🎨 Color for low values (0).
Color 2 🎨 Color for high values (1).
