How to make this pattern and mask distribution

Question

Hello fellow Substance 3D Designers,

I am a new program user and I am trying to create this pattern:

I can easily create the general triangle pattern and I know that I can use a tile sampler node to mask some of the the triangles, but I would like to mask them using a somewhat "gaussian distribution" as shown in this pattern. I'd also like it to be tileable. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello @Wamslebm,

Well done for finding a solution! I have attached a try at this with some exposed parameters to this message. It is not perfect but it should serve its purpose.

I hope it is helpful!

Best regards.

So I've already figured out a distribution technique strategy not long after asking this question.  But I suppose there could be many ways to solve this question so please send me any ideas that could help!  I am absolutely sure I would learn something new.  However,  I think I just needed to create a unique shape to act as my Tile Sampler Mask Map Input.   Then create a few layers with different triangle offsets and blend those together after the tile sampler node.
