Edit a Material

Use the Material Editor to make materials appear exactly as you want.

The texture, color, and other properties of Materials can be modified in the Material Editor.

Edit a Material

1. Select a material.

2. Choose the Edit icon.

3. From the Edit Material window, you can change the following properties:

• Name: To help identify the material

• Texture: Textures are images loaded from your local drive. Once imported, you can crop and edit the horizontal and vertical scale of the texture.

  

• Color: When a material has both texture and color, the two are multiplied together.

• Bump or normal map: Load a texture to apply bumpiness based on the image.

• Cutout: Load a black and white bitmap. The white areas will appear solid and the black areas will be transparent.

• Transparency: A higher value means the material will be more transparent.

• Gloss: A higher value will add a shiny gloss effect to the material.

• Reflection: Direct: A higher value will increase the amount of reflectivity visible when looking directly at a face.

• Reflection: Oblique: A higher value will increase the amount of reflectivity visible when looking at a face from an oblique angle.

4. Click OK to save the changes to the material.
