Science fiction hexagonal hull panels

Generate tileable PBR maps of science fiction hull plating built from hexagonal panels: bevelled rims, inset plates, vents, bolts, panel lights and optionally glowing seams in the emissive map. Use for spaceships, armour, bases and game environments.

Limits to consider

The hexagonal lattice is squashed slightly to repeat on a square tile: about 1 percent for 7, 12, 14, 19 or 26 hexagons across, up to 15 percent for 3, 4 or 6. Panel types are chosen at random, with no hierarchy of large and small panels. Lights and glowing seams are emissive colour, not light sources. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate, not ray traced.
