Normal Scatter

Performs a Scatter effect from a normal map that preserves the format and orientation, it has configurable blending modes (if the tiles overlap). The variance parameters should be used to add randomness to each tile.

  Global strength factor of each normal, can be used to reduce or increase the strength of the normals.
• NormalStrengthVariance Float · Range 0.00 → 1.00
  Variation of the normal strength, it adds a random strength offset (can also be negative) to each individual tile.
• AdjustStrengthNormal Boolean
  Adjusts the normal strength based on the tile size and scale, i.e. it reduces the normal strength for small tiles and increases it for larger tiles.
• AdjustRotationNormal Boolean
  Adjusts the normals by rotating the normals according to each tile's rotation, has an effect only if rotation parameters are used.

  Global rotation factor around the tile origin, has an effect only if offset parameters are non-zero.
• DisorderVariance Float · Range 0.00 → 1.00
  Variation of the disorder rotation, it introduces a random rotation (around tile's origin) to each individual tile, has an effect only if offset parameters are non-zero.
