Make your first texture

Make your first texture

Build a checker texture and view it in the Output preview. You will add nodes, make a connection, and change a parameter.

Before you start

Open Goblin Node and create a graph. Keep the node library and Output preview visible.

Build the graph

  1. Find Checker under Generators > Pattern.
  2. Drag Checker into the graph.
  3. Find Graph Output under Graph.
  4. Drag Graph Output to the right of Checker.
  5. Drag from the out output port on Checker.
  6. Release the connection on the input port of Graph Output.

The checker pattern now appears in the Output preview.

Change the pattern

  1. Select Checker.
  2. Set Squares to 16.

The preview now shows more, smaller squares. Goblin Node recalculates downstream nodes after a parameter changes.

Try one change

Set Squares to 4. Compare the larger squares with the previous result.

Common mistakes

  • If the preview is blank, check that the connection ends at Graph Output.
  • If the wrong controls appear, select Checker again.
  • If a panel is closed, use its toolbar control to reopen it.
