> This page documents the **Pavement node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It procedurally generates cracked ground, flagstone and mosaic patterns — with per-stone color randomization and adjustable gaps — no texture files needed.

The pavement shader is a procedurally driven texture that can be used to generate fine detail for surfaces like cracked pavement, flagstone mosaic patterns and more. By default it is set up to create a desert-like cracked and stoney surface. Artists can randomize the color of each stone with a gradient, and adjust the size, color and crookedness of gaps.
