edgeAntialias
(eaa)| EdgeAntialias determines whether or not to antialias brushstroke edges. Note that this does not affect paint or render speed and should be left on unless hard jagged edges are desired. |
edgeClip
(ecl)| EdgeClip allows one to make 3D strokes render as if they are painted directly onto a surface's texture. The edgeClipDepth attribute controls how far in front of a surface the stroke can be before it becomes invisible. Thus 3D strokes that sit close to an objects surface can be seen if the surface is behind them, but not if the surface edge is in profile. |
edgeClipDepth
(ecd)| EdgeClipDepth controls how close an object behind a stroke must be in order for the stroke to be visible. |
occlusionWidthScale
(ows)| OcclusionWidthScale scale stamp size down based on overlap by forground objects. The full stamp is always drawn, avoiding antialias problems where occluded by non-paint effects forground objects. The size of the stamp is reduced to zero (and thus hidden) when the entire stamp is occluded. |

textureType

mapMethod
(mmd)| 0 - the texture is fit to the view 1 - the mapping is in eyespace but scaled and offset based on the start of the brushstroke or tube 2 - the mapping is in worldspace but always centered on the tube, such that there never a visible seam. 3 - the texture is fully mapped in 3D around the tube, with a seam that is visible from some views. The texture appears correct when the viewpoint is animated. |
texColorScale

texOpacityOffset
(too)| The amount the texture's alpha is added into the output opacity |
displacementScale
(dsc)| The amount the texture's alpha is used to scale ( or multiply ) the tube width. Thus this form of displacement is relative to the width of tubes. |
displacementOffset
(dof)| The amount the texture's alpha is added to the tube width. This displacement is independent of tube width, so thin tubes may have more displacement than desired. |
bumpIntensity
(bmi)| The amount of bump added relative to the general displacement. The bump provides needed detail when displaced triangles are large relative to a pixel. Note that bump mapping requires both that displacement is on and perPixel mesh shading is used. If one wishes to have only the bump with no displacement, then make the displacement scale and offset zero. |
bumpBlur
(bbl)| This scales the separation of the extra texture samples used in computing the bump map. It has the effect of making the bump smoother and less detailed. If it is too low, however, the bump may appear broken up and may jitter in animations. A value of 1.0 avoids most of these jitter or aliasing problems, but results in too smooth a bump for distant or oblique strokes. In practice a value of 0.5 can be a good compromise. |
luminanceIsDisplacement
(lid)| In particular one may wish to use the color from file textures for displacement instead of the image alpha. This also frees the alpha for use in transparency. This uses the brighness of the color for displacement. |

They are created at render time and are simple duplicates, and thus do not take up any shape computation. This allows one to have a great number of tubes and yet render them in a reasonable amount of time. |
multiStreakSpread1
(ms1)| the maximum offset for added tubes relative to the brush width at the tube base |
multiStreakSpread2
(ms2)| the maximum offset for added tubes relative to the brush width at the tube tip |
multiStreakDiffuseRand
(msdr)| a diffuse brightness randomization for the added tubes |
multiStreakSpecularRand
(mssr)| a specular brightness randomization for the added tubes |
multiStreakLightAll
(msla)| a brightness randomization for the added tubes |
singleSided
(snsd)| toggles backface removal for the mesh brushType making the inside edge of tubes disappear and speeding up the render |
tubeSections
(tbs)| the number of points in each cross section used for the mesh brushType |
subSegments
(ssg)| the number of cross sections added for each base segment for the mesh brushType |
perPixelLighting
(ppl)| light each pixel when rendering, as opposed to lighting each vertex and interpolating the result when the mesh brushType is used. This will allows for detailed shadows and specular highlights. Also when displacement mapping is used it will allow a bump mapping of normals within each triangle. Note that if realLights is enabled this can result in significantly slower renders, as the evaluation of Maya lights is slow in the paint effects context. |
widthScale
(wsc)| multiplies the width along the tube determined by the base and tip width. This is useful for creating shapes other than the simple conical tube shape determined by the base and tip widths. The left of the graph is the scale at the base and the right is the scale at the tip. |

branchThorns
(bth)| create thorns or prickles on branch tubes when the mesh brushType is used. This will also show up on normal strokes when tubes = OFF, as the effect is not part of the tubes simulation, but rather a render effect. The thorns are drawn as a single segment using the thinTube method, and project off the triangle mesh along the triangle normals. |
twigThorns
(tth)| create thorns or prickles on twig tubes when the mesh brushType is used. The thorns are drawn as a single segment using the thinTube method, and project off the triangle mesh along the triangle normals. |
leafThorns
(lth)| create thorns or prickles on leaf tubes when the mesh brushType is used. The thorns are drawn as a single segment using the thinTube method, and project off the triangle mesh along the triangle normals. |
flowerThorns
(flt)| create thorns or prickles on flower tubes when the mesh brushType is used. The thorns are drawn as a single segment using the thinTube method, and project off the triangle mesh along the triangle normals. |
thornDensity
(nth)| The general amount of thorns drawn on the mesh. |
thornLength
(tln)| The length (relative to the max tube width) for the thorns. |
thornBaseWidth
(tbwd)| The width (relative to the thorn length) at the base of the thorn. |
thornTipWidth
(ttwd)| The width (relative to the thorn length) at the outer thorn tip. |
thornElevation
(tel)| elevation of the thorns relative to the mesh surface. An elevation of 1.0 is along the mesh normal. An elevation of 0 is along the tube and an elevation of 2 is opposite to this. |

reflectionRolloff
(rro)| Reflection Rolloff controls the reflectivity of the environment ramp based on the angle of the surface with the view. The horizontal dimension of the graph represents the brightness of reflections and the horizontal represents the facing angle with the view. Tip: to get a "wet" look (such as wet paint), make the edges more reflective. |

branchReflectivity
(brf)| intensity of environment reflection on primary branches and twigs. This also applies to strokes when tubes = OFF. Environment reflections only work with the mesh brushtype. |
leafReflectivity
(lrf)| intensity of environment reflection on leaves. Environment reflections only work with the mesh brushtype. |
flowerReflectivity
(frf)| intensity of environment reflection on flowers. Environment reflections only work with the mesh brushtype. |
forwardTwist
(fwt)| Lock the twist about main branches to always face the current camera. This is useful when setting up billboard style effect where one always wishes the texture to face the view. If the tubes are flat, then the flat side will alway orient towards the camera. With this on, one could texture a simple flat stroke and always have it face the view. For a tree one could create a texture of a tree trunk with rough edges and map to a simple flat ribbon where the ribbon always faces the camera. |
leafForwardTwist
(lfwt)| Lock the twist about leaves to always face the current camera. This is useful when setting up billboard style effect where one always wishes the texture to face the view. If the leaves are flat, then the flat side will alway orient towards the camera. One could map an image of an entire leafy branch with alpha to a flat leaf and use this toggle to always orient this image towards the view. |
petalForwardTwist
(lpwt)| Lock the twist about flower petals to always face the current camera. This is useful when setting up billboard style effect where one always wishes the texture to face the view. If the petals are flat, then the flat side will alway orient towards the camera. One could map an image of an apple or rose to a single flat petal, and have this always face the viewpoint. |
endCaps
(edc)| Add end cap geometry to tubes when using the mesh brushType . |
hardEdges
(hde)| Make the edges around tubes hard when using the mesh brushType. For example if the tubeSections is 4 then this toggle will make the tube shade as if the 4 sides are flat, rather than trying to simulate a rounded tube. For bends in the direction of the tube( for example due to changes in the widthScale ) the bend angle across a given must be sufficiently large to make the angle hard. The number of segments used can affect whether a given region on the tube become hard edged or not. Note that this parameter adjusts the normals used for shading, and does not alter the shape of the tube. |
