Chainlink Pattern Generator (.sbs & .sbsar)

A Chainlink pattern generator for Substance Designer and Painter with a mask output + the following user controls:

• Pattern selection + custom input
• X & Y amount
• Thickness
• Chainlink Smoothness
• Chainlink Offset
• Depth range
• Custom profile input option
• Quality/Iteration

How does it work?

• Generate given amount of iterations (Disk patterns for example) in a straight line
• Input a grayscale image
• Offset the straight line with the given grayscale input (Linear Gradient 3)
• Smoothness works by blurring the linear gradient and making sure it stays in 0-1 space with autolevels node

The .zip contains (.sbs) and (.sbsar) + icon
.sbs is fully documented if you want to take a closer look how it works under the hood.
Special thanks to Vincent Coupal (aka @StereoVinny) for the idea.
