## Shader Properties

### Texture

Parameter ID: `MOSAICSHADER_TEXTURE`

Load the texture that you want to make "coarse" here.

### Smooth

Parameter ID: `MOSAICSHADER_SMOOTH`

This option is important when animating the Tile U/V option since interim values (e.g., **5.44** at frame 3 and **6.23** at frame 4) can result. If this option is active only integer values will be used (e.g., **5** and **6** in our example), resulting in no overlapping tiles.

### Tiles U

Parameter ID: `MOSAICSHADER_TILE_U` · Range: [1.00..+∞]

### Tiles V

Parameter ID: `MOSAICSHADER_TILE_V` · Range: [1.00..+∞]

Use these options to define how many tiles should be created in the U and V direction (horizontal or vertical).
