XIII. Viewing a structure and occlusion

 

 

1. If you wish to viewing  a final look of texture you  must point the cursor on menu "View":

 

.

 

2. Here you can view  textures: the color texture, texture of normals in world space, texture of luster. As you call on each of that commands, a window will open where you
   can look through all listed texture. The windows have tool tips on the bottom.  

 - Close preview

- Reset (show all texture in view port)

-  View a wireframe

 

5. The third group in this menu you can  adjust viewing:

5.1. relief only

 5.2. a model non-shaded

     

 

5.3.  only specular

Blue, red, green strips are there in figure to show the form of object schematically.

For output from viewing relief only, a model non-shaded and specular go to regime "View a model shaded".

 

6. When you call on menu "Options" you will see the list that has options which can be connect/disconnect:

- Autosave. Use slider "Autosave time" you can adjust time for autosave. Auto saving file has name autosave.3b, which is located in the folder User Data.

            There is a list or suggested parameters for each of last four options:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-        Normalmaps export (select the standard of normal maps exporting: 3D-Max or Maya)

-        Padding (When you will export textures you will be asked if you need a border around the texture clusters (padding). This option allows to answer this question automatically)

-        Padding width (padding width, used when texture exporting)

 

Using a window "Option" you can adjust a convenient place of the user for yourself.
