About 3D Alternate Vein Texture

The color bar defines the color interpolation of complete veins. The alternate vein texture creates an interpolation by alternating up to four vein colors.

The color bar is available in the Rendering tab of the Domain Edition dialog box. To access it, select Vein in the Procedural Material Type list.

This bar is graduated from 0 to 1 and is divided into four parts:

• 0-0.25
• 0.25-0.50
• 0.50-0.75
• 0.75-1

Each part represents a vein and its color width.

To modify the lighting color effect of the texture, click an arrow and then drag it to the left or to the right to change the width of the corresponding color.

Bump textures consist of a lighting surface effect added to the object. It locally modifies the geometric aspect of the basic object by perturbating artificially the usual lighting effect.

You can use the slider or enter a coefficient value comprised between -10 and 10:

Value	Effect
0	No bump effect.
10	Bright colors appear above dark colors.
-10	Dark colors appear above bright colors.

The following pictures illustrate the bump effects according to the defined amplitude:

The transformation parameters help you adjust the mapped texture.

The following parameters are available:

Parameter	Description
Scaling	Stretches the texture along the X, Y, and Z axes.
Rotation	Rotates the texture around the X, Y, and Z axes.
Translation	Translates the texture along the X, Y, and Z axes.

Important: To keep the symmetry when specifying the perturbation coefficient, translate or move the center of the Robot.
