Description
3D element and shader property; an image object used by a shader to define the appearance of the
surface of a model. The image is wrapped onto the geometry of the model by the shader.
The visible component of a shader is created with up to eight layers of textures. These eight
texture layers are either created from bitmap cast members or image objects within Director or
imported with models from 3D modeling programs.
Create and delete textures with the
Textures are stored in the texture palette of the 3D cast member. They can be referenced by name

shaders. Changes to a texture will appear in all shaders which use that texture.
There are three types of textures:

command.
newTexture()
#fromImageObject
command.

#importedFromFile
The texture of a particle system is a property of the model resource, whose type is
