FCRVSELECT

2D Texture Global/Local

 

The FcrvSelect->2D Texture Global/Local command in the Motion module displays the function curves for animated parameters of the current global or local 2D texture for a selected object or the current material.

See 2D Textures of the Defining Materials and Textures User's Guide for more information about using 2D textures at the global and local levels, and working with texture lists.

For more information on all tasks related to editing function curves, see the Editing Function Curves section of the Animating User's Guide.

 

Procedure

  1. Select an object or polygon on a polygon mesh object.
  2. Choose the FcrvSelect->Global/Local command.

The Fcurve window and the specified function curve(s) appear.

 

All

Displays all function curves available for the current texture.

Blending

Displays the function curve for the overall blending of the current texture with the selected object's material. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window range from 0 to 1.

Ambient

Displays the function curve for the current texture's visibility on the ambient area of illumination on the selected object's material. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the brightness, and range from 0 to 1, but they can go higher for special purposes.

Diffuse

Displays the function curve for the current texture's brightness on the diffuse area of illumination on the selected object's material. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the brightness and range from 0 to 1, but they can go higher for special purposes.

Specular

Displays the function curve for the current texture's brightness on the specular area of illumination on the selected object's material. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the brightness and range from 0 to 1, but they can go higher for special purposes.

Reflectivity

Displays the function curve for the reflectivity of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window range from 0 to 1.

Transparency

Displays the function curve for the transparency of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the transparency factor, and range from 0 to 1.

Roughness

Displays the function curve for the roughness of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the amplitude of the bump effect, and range from -20 to 20.

Reflection Mapping

Displays the function curve for the intensity of the reflection map of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the brightness of the reflection and normally range from 0 to 1, but they can go higher for special purposes.

Refl. Map Rotation

Displays the function curve for the rotation of the reflection map of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window are in degrees.

U Scale

Displays the function curve for the u scaling of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the scale factor, and range from - to .

V Scale

Displays the function curve for the v scaling of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the scale factor, and range from - to .

U Offset

Displays the function curve for the u offset of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the offset factor, and range from -1 to 1.

V Offset

Displays the function curve for the v offset of the current texture. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window represent the offset factor and range from -1 to 1.

Support Rotation

Displays the function curve for the rotation of the 2D texture support geometry. This rotation alters the resulting 2D texture mapping.

Support Scaling

Displays the function curve for the scaling of the 2D texture support geometry.

Projection Center

Displays the function curve for the offset of the 2D texture mapping. The projection centre is used to indicate the origin of the texture mapping for the purposes of parameterization. The displacement of the centre of projection is bounded by the texture of the support.
