Stained Glass

Usage

Select an object, and click “Apply to Mesh”. The generator will convert it to stained glass following the object’s edges.

Parameters

Strips Material: The material used for the strips
Glass Material: The material used for the glass

▼ STRIPS
Strips Color: Color
Strips Metallic: Metallic
Strips Roughness: Roughness
Resolution: The amount of sides the strips have
Radius: Radius of strips
Shadow: Strips cast shadows
Shade Smooth: Shade Smooth control

▼ GLASS PROPERTIES
IOR: Glas IOR
Glass Light Through: The amount of light that goes through the glass
Glass Roughness: Glass Roughness
Caustics Offset: Offsets the caustics
Caustics Strength: Caustics strength
Glass Bump: Controls Glass bump
Bump Scale: Bump texture scale

▼ PATTERN COLOR
Number of Colors: Amount of different colors used (Affects all 3 pattern methods)
Seed: Gives different results using the same parameters

▼ PATTERN METHOD
Area|Index|Random: Picks from 3 different color pattern methods
AREA:
Assignes colors based on the face areas, faces with similar area surface will be assigned the same colors (a controls for the tolerance is available)

INDEX:
Assigns colors based on the Index number of the faces, to make the pattern symmetrical the object is mirrored and the index are also mirrored inside the GN modifier.
A control to pick the axis in witch the object and pattern is mirrored is available.
Important note: This method requires the object to have an edge loop along the mirroring axis to correctly mirror and weld the object

Like in this example here:

So that the modifier can correctly remove one half and mirror it along the selected axis:

RANDOM:
Assigns random colors per face (The “Number of Colors” parameter also limits how many different colors will be assigned)

▼ AREA
Tolerance: How much difference in area surface will be tolerated before assigning a different color to a face. 0 tolerance will only assign the same color if the areas are exactly the same, 1 tolerance will tolerate any size change making all the faces the same color. (The “Number of Colors” parameter also limits how many different colors will be assigned)

▼ INDEX
Mirror Axis (X,Y,Z): Selects the axis for the mirroring
Group Size: How many consecutive index numbers will have the same color before changing to another.

▼ GEOMETRY
Subdivision Level: Number of subdivisions
Edge Crease: Edge Crease
Realize Instances: Activate this Only before applying the modifier to convert instances to mesh. (It may take some processing time)
