It is a stripped down version of a Mari 'Tiled' Node without the UV Transformation options

that the 'Tiled' Node offers and is thereby a faster node in itself.


It can be used together with the 'Manifold UV' Node in the Nodegraph to turn it into a full 'Tiled' Node again.


In addition the Node overs 'Stencil' functionality that allows you to turn of default image wrapping around the edges

Node Ports


  • Manifold

The 'Manifold' connection can be used to feed in a coordinate system to evaluate the Image on.
