|
Texture Repeat Type (Ver. 10) / Texture Mapping (Ver. 11) |
Repeat |
Repeatedly display the texture on the pattern. | |
|
Unified Map |
Display the texture based on the pattern layout of the UV map. [Repeat UV Settings] * Repeat U: Size the texture based on U direction. * Repeat V: Size the texture based on V direction. The number 1 means that the texture is repeated once between 0-1 of the UV map. |
||
Type |
Set the appropriate Material Type. ※Note: If garment is created in Marvelous Designer or Downloaded from CONNECT, the fabric type may display as * (Read-only) Fabric Type with the same name in Marvelous Designer. However, since there is no render engine in Marvelous Designer, the fabric display in 3D window will not be accurate. |

Base Color |
Color |
Select your chosen color from the color wheel or leave as (None) | |
Base Color Map |
Recolor |
Remove the default color to apply other colors while retaining the pattern or texture. | |
Desaturate |

Switch |
Easily and quickly switch the color of solid fabric to a new one without losing the accuracy of the chosen color. ※Note: For consistent results, the Base Color Map should contain 1 color. If the Base Color Map contains multiple colors, users may experience unexpected or unintended results. |
||
Texture |
Click the explore button and apply a texture image from Library/Folder ※Note: Click both back and side tabs and deactivate 'Use Same Materials as Front' to apply different materials to other faces of the pattern. |
||
Remove Texture Color |
Remove the default color to apply other colors while retaining the pattern or texture. | ||
Normal Map |
Apply Normal Map image to express uneven texture more realistically. | ||
Automatic |
When a texture is applied, Normal Map is generated by adjusting the Intensity. Higher intensity makes the embossed detail raised off the surface, the lower intensity makes the details lower than the surface. | ||
Manual |
Click the explore or apply the Normal Map image from the Library/Folder ※Note: Use the normal map image made with the exclusive tool to achieve an accurate normal effect. Also, add a normal map that is different with texture in order to create an extra pattern of surface. |
||
Displacement Map |
Express thickness or bumpiness of fabrics or textures. ※ Note:
|
||
Amount |
Adjust the maximum height of the displacement map. The white area of the displacement map shows the maximum height. | ||
Shift |
Adjust the distance between the displacement map and the garment surface | ||
Clipping |
Adjust to delete all geometries below the Clipping value. | ||
Particle Distance |
Adjust the Particle Distance of newly created meshes. ※ Note: As more memory is used for lower Particle Distance, it is recommended not to set the Particle Distance below 1 for a wide area. |
||
Keep Continuity |
Extend the adjacent face to eliminate the boundary line. ※ Note: Only applicable to Welded OBJs. |
||
Color |
Express each of the fabrics in various colorways | ||
Opacity |
Adjust Opacity to create sheer fabric. ※Note: When you apply opacity to texture, change Garment Rendering Style as Thick Textured Surface. |
||
Alpha Map |
