4.8 Bumpmap Background
Please note that this menu is only available if
you selected the effect option Background for
Texture, prior to starting the software, instead of
Scene.
In this menu, you can determine the Bumpmap
for the Background.
As this menu is identical to the previous one
(Bumpmap Object), you can easily use the
descriptions found in the previous chapter. The
difference is merely that the parameters made
here have an effect on the background rather
than the object.
4.9 Texture Object
In this menu, you can define the texture of the
Object, in other words, a pattern to be placed on
the surface of the object.
• Box: Click onto the box to activate the Texture
Object (tick activates, a dash deactivates).
If you do not wish to use these functions and
thus deactivate this box, the remaining buttons
for this feature will remain ghosted.
• Texture Object: This button unlocks the two
menu points Image Setting and Image Position.
First, select Image Setting to make the following
settings:
• Texture: Here, you can determine (select) the
texture for your object.
The Video setting fills out the object with a
background video scene. You can see that with
a value of 100, the proportions are the same as
you background scene.
Once you have decided to use an image, the
button Image (Select image) will become active.
• Image: Click onto this button to select an image
to be used as a texture for your object. The
system will display the Image Pool and you can
select an image from the available pictures.
• Zoom X / Zoom Y: These sliders allow you to
zoom into the texture of the object to make it
larger. Values between 25 and 400 are possible.
Next, you can select the options from the Image
Position gadget next to the Texture Object
button:
• Position X / Position Y: here, you can read
the coordinates of the texture. You can change
the coordinates by clicking into any part of
the image, holding down the trackball key and
moving the ball.
• Position reset: Click this button to reset the
position of the texture to coordinates 0, 0.
4.10 Texture Background
Please note that this menu is only available if
