Custom tile controls
• Brick Width and Brick Height — adjusts the size of bricks
• Angle and Scale — adjusts the tile orientation and size of built-in tile shapes
• Blur Radius — sets the sampling radius for blurring the crack or grout color. Increasing the Blur Radius
adds more neighboring colors to the crack pixels in each pass.
• Blur Passes — sets the number of times the crack pixels are blurred. More passes mix more tile color
into the cracks. Blurring occurs only when Blur Passes is greater than zero.
• Threshold — draws the line between light and dark. Everything above the Threshold value becomes
tiles, and everything below becomes grout.
