-====== Weave (WiP) ======
+====== Weave ======
+This shader renders a simple weave made out of threads, can be used for carbon fiber, cloth, or similar.
+Since the threads are rendered along the U and V coordinates, it requires a Projection.

+===== Inputs =====
+==== Projection ====
+Connect a Projection node to define the texture projection used for the Weave. If it's not connected, the default UV Map will be used if has been defined.
+The other inputs correspond to the controls exposed in the panel.
+===== Outputs =====
+{{ :tools:pasted:20191125-114938.png}}
+==== Colour ====
+Returns the final output colour of the threads on top of the background colour.
+==== ID ====
+Returns a random ID for each thread
+==== Opacity ====
+Returns the opacity of the threads. If **Opacity Fade** is set to 0%, this is essentially a mask for the threads. If it set to 100%, it includes the effects of the Round Shadow and the Weave Shadow settings.
+==== Displacement ====
+Returns the displacement due to the threads.
+<WRAP tip>
+For now, there is no bump or normal output since the original shader doesn't compute it.
+</WRAP>
 ===== Parameters =====
+All of the parameters may be animated or overridden by node inputs, with the exception of the Random Seed, due to performance reasons.
 ==== Background Colour ====
-Since the shader renders fibres on top of a background, this allows you to define the background colour.
+Since the shader renders threads on top of a background, this allows you to define the background colour.
 ==== Scale ====
-The spacing and scale of the fibres. The smaller the scale, the more there are.
+The spacing and scale of the threads. The smaller the scale, the more there are.
-==== U Colour / V Colour ====
-The colour of the fibres along U and V.
 ==== Width ====
-The width of the fibres as a percentage to the next fibre.
+The width of the threads as a percentage to the next thread.
-==== Opacity Fade ====
+==== U Colour / V Colour ====
+The colour of the threads along U and V.
-==== Random Seed ====
 ==== Roundness / Weave ====

 === Frizz Displacement ===
+Controls how much of the Frizz is added to the final Displacement.
 === Frizz Scale ===

 Controls the frequency of the Bendyness.
+==== Opacity Fade ====
+Controls if the Opacity Output will just return the opacity for the threads or the opacity of the threads modified by the Round Shadow and Weave Shadow effects.
+==== Random Seed ====
+This is used as the base for the noise function used to randomise some of the settings, such as Frizz and Bendyness. A different seed will retain the same general style but with different distributions.
