Corona Tile Map

[Alex Abarca]

Hi Corona Render team,
Can you please help me create these two CoronaTile maps, I'm stuck, I could sure use your guidance.

I don't think you can do something like this with Corona tiles map, but you could use 3ds Max array modifier to create small patch of tiles and then project it on surface with Corona pattern modifier. This method is slightly more involved, but it's much more flexible and would give you superior result.

Hi,

Please find the attached scene.
It is absolutely possible to do this with Corona Tile map but you need to math a bit and type patterns to get it. I have done it for you for these specific tiles.
For detailed explanation on how the custom pattern works check this:

under "Click here to see custom pattern usage illustration".

Hope this helps.

Thanks Aram! That's pure black magic!

It would be nice to have a simple notation added that could be used to increment the offset for each subsequent row, so like in this example you would have just have something like 0.14* 1 1
instead of 0.14 1 1| 0.28 1 1| 0.42 1 1| .....


Is that something that can be added? I can put in a feature request in a forum post if needed.

I believe it is simpler to do the math and input/type the values only, than to type the math operations in the input field. And what if the offset is not constantly incremented over the rows?
The input of "a b c | a b c " is not ideal, but it works in a straightforward way.
