Visualize Tool Tab
Use the following commands to apply pre-defined textures to selected faces. Use the Generate Ray-Traced Rendering command (from the select Visualize Tool Tab) to preview the results of textures applied to faces. Face Attributes and Light Sources will also effect the ray-traced rendered image. All of these tools are available from the Visualize Tool Tab.
The sample images shown below were rendered with default lighting and random face and texture attribute settings. Experimentation will achieve a wide range of results. Also refer to Preparing for Advanced Rendering for more information. To use your own textures, refer to the Apply Texture Map File command.
