Pattern Scale

Paint kits that use patterns define a pattern scale. Increasing the scale repeats the pattern. Since the weapons are all different sizes, a paint on a large weapon will have correspondingly large features and a paint on a small weapon will have very tiny features. We fix this by further modifying the scale per-weapon.

For most styles the scale of the pattern is relative to a pattern sheet size of 36 inches. For styles that use triplanar mapping, 18 inches. In order for the size to be consistent, the pattern’s scale must be adjusted per-weapon.

For some finishes, the automatic scale adjustment per-weapon is not desired. It can be disabled by setting "ignore_weapon_size_scale" "1" in the finish’s properties.
