Color Detail

Color Detail Layer

Selects which detail layer is being edited. Layers let one color object combine several independent details, such as bolts, stripes, cracks, glow marks, and labels.

Enable Color Detail

Turns the selected layer on or off for the current color object state. Disabled layers remain available without being drawn.

Color Detail Skin

Chooses the detail shape. Available skins include Ellipse, Rectangle, Round Rectangle, Line, Zig-Zag Line, Plus Line, Ellipse Stroke, Rectangle Stroke, Round Rectangle Stroke, Bevel Block, and Color Ruby.

Enable Color Detail Texture

Applies a texture to the selected detail. Fill-like skins use fill textures; line and stroke skins use line/stroke textures.

Color Detail Texture Type

Chooses the texture used by the detail. This is separate from the base object texture and can make details look like scratches, panels, metal, energy, or paint.

Line Texture Compression

Controls how line/stroke detail textures are squeezed or stretched along the detail line. This changes stripe density and texture rhythm.

Texture Scale

Controls the size of the texture pattern inside the detail skin. Use small values for dense texture and larger values for broad material marks.

Texture Flip X/Y

Mirrors the detail texture horizontally or vertically. This helps align directional textures across mirrored objects or repeated patterns.

Erase Mode

Makes the detail act like an erasing layer instead of a normal drawn layer. Use it to cut holes, scratches, gaps, or negative space into the visual design.

Disable Color Detail Mask

Controls whether details are clipped by the object shape. Disabling the mask lets detail drawing extend outside the base object when that effect is wanted.

Skin Width

Controls each repeated detail element's width. For lines and strokes it affects the drawn span; for filled skins it affects the element size.

Skin Height

Controls the element height. Together with width, this defines the proportion of ellipses, rectangles, blocks, and repeated marks.

Skin Polygon Precision

Controls how smooth curved skins are. Higher precision gives smoother ellipses and rounded shapes, while lower precision can create angular mechanical styling.

Skin Max Draw Angle

Limits how much of a circular or stroke skin is drawn. Use it for arcs, partial rings, gauges, rotating indicators, and ruby-like facets.

Skin Rotation

Rotates the detail element without rotating the base object. This is important for diagonal stripes, angled cuts, and mechanical direction markers.

Reverse Skin

Reverses drawing direction for supported skins. It is especially useful for arcs, partial circles, and asymmetric detail shapes.

Bevel Block Angle

Controls the angle used by the Bevel Block skin. This changes the perceived direction of the bevel face.

Bevel Block Size

Controls the bevel thickness/size inside the Bevel Block detail. Larger values make the block look deeper and more sculpted.

Bevel Block Strength

Controls how strong the bevel contrast is. Use lower values for subtle panels and higher values for chunkier mechanical blocks.

Bevel Block Shadow Lines

Draws additional bevel shadow lines on the Bevel Block skin. This can make details feel more dimensional.

Bevel Block Center Block

Controls whether the center part of the Bevel Block is drawn. Turning it off can create frame-like or cutout details.

Skin Draw Count X/Y

Limits how many repeated detail elements are drawn horizontally or vertically. Use this when a pattern should stop after a fixed number of marks instead of filling the whole object.

Skin Corner Radius

Rounds corners for round-rectangle detail skins. It controls whether panels feel sharp, soft, industrial, or toy-like.

Skin Line Thickness

Controls the stroke width for line and stroke detail skins. Thin lines read as engraving; thick lines read as bars, rails, or hazard stripes.

Skin Line Round Edge

Rounds line ends and joins where supported. Enable it for soft cables, pipes, and friendly UI marks; disable it for sharper mechanical edges.

Padding X/Y

Offsets detail placement inside the layout. Padding is useful for moving patterns away from object edges or aligning repeated marks with the base shape.

Enable Color Detail Variation

Enables alternate drawing behavior across the repeated detail grid. Variation can change color, texture, skin type, rotation, scale, or padding on selected steps.

Enable X Variation

Applies variation along horizontal steps. X Variation Step controls how often the alternate detail appears across a row.

Enable Y Variation

Applies variation along vertical steps. Y Variation Step controls how often the alternate detail appears down a column.

Combine X And Y Variation

Requires both X and Y variation positions to match before the alternate detail is used. This creates checker-like accents or sparse special marks.

Enable Color Variation

Changes the detail color on variation steps. Use it for alternating lights, checker patterns, coded wires, or heat/energy gradients.

Padding Variation X/Y

Changes the padding only on variation steps. This can stagger details, create uneven mechanical rows, or avoid a too-perfect repeated pattern.

Enable Texture Variation

Uses a different texture on variation steps. Texture variation has its own type, scale, compression, and flip settings.

Texture Variation Type

Chooses the alternate texture for variation steps. It is used only when texture variation is enabled.

Texture Variation Scale

Controls the alternate texture scale. This lets variation marks look rougher, finer, or more visually distinct than the normal details.

Texture Variation Compression

Controls how compressed the alternate line/stroke texture is. Use it to make variation steps visibly different on line-based skins.

Texture Variation Flip X/Y

Mirrors the alternate texture on variation steps. This helps create alternating texture direction without adding a new layer.

Rectangle Texture Variation

For supported skins, uses rectangle-style texture drawing on variation steps. This is useful when the alternate mark should look like a panel or tile.

Bevel Rectangle Texture Variation

Uses bevel-style rectangle texture drawing on variation steps. It can make alternating tiles feel raised or carved.

Enable Skin Variation

Changes the skin type on variation steps. For example, normal steps can be small rectangles while variation steps become ellipses or ruby marks.

Skin Variation Type

Selects which skin is used for variation steps. It uses the same family of detail skins as the main Color Detail Skin control.

Skin Variation Reverse

Reverses the alternate skin drawing direction. Use it when alternating arcs or angled details should face opposite directions.

Enable Rotation Variation

Rotates detail elements on variation steps. This is useful for alternating diagonal stripes, scratches, rotating arrows, or mechanical teeth.

Rotation Variation

The alternate rotation value used when rotation variation is active.

Enable Scale Variation

Scales detail elements on variation steps. Use it to avoid flat repetition or to make every Nth element visually stronger.

Scale Variation

The alternate scale value used by variation steps. It affects the drawn detail size, not the base object size.

Detail Alpha

Controls detail transparency. Use it to keep decoration subtle or to make important gameplay marks stand out.

Global Alpha

Makes the detail layer follow the base object's global alpha. This keeps the object and its details fading together.

Detail Blend Mode

Controls how the detail layer blends with the base fill. Different blend modes can create dark marks, bright glows, additive highlights, or normal paint-like overlays.

Detail Alpha Fade

Fades repeated details across a direction. Alpha Fade Min, Alpha Fade Max, and Alpha Fade Direction control the range and whether the fade goes right, top, left, or bottom.

Color Detail Layout

Chooses the placement pattern: Tile, Checkerbox, or Ellipse layout. Tile fills a grid, Checkerbox alternates rows/columns, and Ellipse arranges details around an oval path.

Layout Gap X/Y

Controls spacing between repeated detail elements. Tight gaps create dense surfaces; wide gaps create distinct bolts, lights, or marks.

Ellipse Layout Width/Height

Controls the oval used by Ellipse layout. This is useful for circular indicators, rings, orbiting marks, or decorative borders.

Ellipse Layout Skin Angle Direction

Rotates each detail to follow the ellipse direction. Enable it for arrows, ticks, and marks that should face along the curve.
