MW Tiles is a collection of five procedural OSL shaders for 3ds Max that generate tile patterns entirely in the shader - no baked textures, no UV headaches. The collection covers Advanced Tiles (rectangular, running bond and chevron layouts with a built-in preset system), Herringbone, Hex Tiles with shape multipliers, Voronoi-based Stone Tiles for irregular flagstone paving, and Ashlar Tiles for randomized coursed masonry.
Every shader shares a consistent feature set: grout width and depth control, tile and grout bump falloff curves, per-tile colour randomization across hue, saturation and value, edge wear simulation, corner rounding, and a standard set of outputs (Col, Bump, TileMask, Index, UV, TileRot) that wire directly into any material channel. Compatible with any renderer that supports OSL - V-Ray, Corona, Arnold, Redshift, Octane and others.
I'm the Production Lead at Constructive Media in Perth, specializing in architectural visualization, complex 3D rendering and mixed reality experiences. Alongside production work, I develop tools in MaxScript, OSL and C# that solve real workflow problems - from procedural shader collections to geometry generation plugins. The tools I build are the ones I needed on the job but couldn't find, so I built them myself.
