This powerful tool allows you to create 3D patterns on the surface of an object. It creates a grid of meshes and warp it around the object using it's UV coordinate.

With the Surface Pattern, you can easily generate a variety of mesh patterns on the surface of any object, simply by using its UVs. This gives you complete control over the pattern, and allows you to create effects that would be impossible to achieve with traditional methods.

It`s very simple to use. You just need to choose an object to be the pattern that will gonna be used to create the mesh grid, add the "Surface Pattern" modifier to an object. Load the pattern on the "Pattern Object" input and adjust the tiling, using the "Pattern Size".

Also, it`s very important that the surface object have a good UV, with no overlapping areas and a good topology.

To finish, you must set the "UV Name" on the modifier.
