Script And 3D Text - Adobe 65036570 - Director - PC User Manual

Shaders and shader properties determine the appearance of the surface of the 3D text model. Textures are 2D
images drawn on the surface of the text. Use the Property inspector to assign a texture to the text's shader. You
can also control the color of the shader's specular highlights and its diffuse or overall color and reflectivity.
As with any model, you can apply a texture that uses a bitmap cast member. You can import a bitmap cast
member or create a new one in the Paint window. Be sure to give your bitmap cast member a name if it doesn't
already have one. To assign this bitmap as the texture, specify it in the Property inspector. Select Member from
the Shader Texture menu, and then enter the name of the member you want to use in the text box to the right of
the menu.
