DESCRIPTION

Purpose :
Using this template you can generate Blocks backgrounds in line with NI blocks backgrounds guidelines, style and quality.

Requirement :
Latest version of Blender 3D

Consists of :
- 7 folders covering 7 different width on the Blocks scale gird (fixed height, width unit of 60px).
- A PDF explaining how to create a new width on the grid starting from the "width 8" files.

Each folder contains :
- 2 Blender 3D files (simple BG and BG with complex material) which have been tuned to look friendly to Reaktor users and simple to use. Just hit render after opening : it will open a popup and automatically save the result in the same folder when done. So all you really need to do is edit the material node as you desire.
- a screenshot of the R6 image properties corresponding to that background size.
- 2 textures, one for the frame that gets repeated when a block gets automatically extended in Reaktor panel, one which can be used as a mask to mix two material or color or whatever you fancy.

I did not explain how to edit the material node as I think as soon as you open the file it should look self explanatory enough for smart users like you and you can see a preview on the right all the time so you see where you are going.
