- Combine patterns with existing Standard Material settings.
- Compare, save, and reuse pattern designs across Projects.
"You know the pattern you want. Herringbone on the entry floor, a running bond on the feature wall, hexagon tile in the bathroom. Getting there has usually meant scrolling through library variants hoping one matches, importing a custom texture for a single surface, or building the layout by hand.
That is a lot of work for one design choice; you will probably revisit twice more before the render is finished.
The Pattern Editor lets you shape the pattern directly onto the material you already have.
For a detailed walkthrough of every preset and control, see our guide on how to use the Pattern Editor."
