Managing 3D Objects and Bitmaps

We have just seen how to change the number of tilings of the bitmap pattern. Now let's look

at the method that Draw uses to project the image onto the object. This is done on the Texture

Management page.

First, you can choose to project the image in black and white( ) or in color ( ).

The Mode chosen will tell Draw whether you want to manage lighting and shadow on the

selected object. In Figure 37, the first sphere corresponds to the setting Only Texture and the

second (more realistic) to the setting Texture and Shading.

The six following buttons (Projection X / Y) let you specify the type of projection used to

draw the motif on the object. The settings on the X and Y axes are as follows: Object-

Specific ( ), Parallel ( ) and Circular ( ). Generally, the default setting of Object-

Specific can be left as it is because it gives the best results.

Note: Format > 3D > Textures to access this menu.
