Creating a Decal. A Decal is like a sticker you can apply to an object on top of the texture that is already assigned. So, you can apply a wine label to a bottle of wine, or a poster to a textured object.
Applying textures to objects. You can apply textures directly using the Resource Browser or the Object Info palette.
Some clients are a bit confused about this issue. Vectorworks uses two concepts that look similar, images and textures. Some clients make use of these words as if they were interchangeable – they are not. If you take a photo on a digital camera, that is an image. If you…
Making an Image Prop 2. Another method for image props is use an image and a mask. You can use Photoshop to create a image, and then copy the background area to make a mask. This technique is useful for creating people, plants, and other things to populate your render scenes.
Image Props. An image prop is where you take an image file and convert it into a 3D object in VectorWorks. The image file could be a photograph of a tree, a person, a kitchen appliance, or even a sketch that has been scanned.
Creating a Texture Using a Transparency Map. One of the major tricks with 3D modeling is, don’t model it if you can texture it. Think about the brick texture, we could have modeled every brick, but it is quicker to create a brick texture.
Image-based Textures. Creating a texture from an image allows you to make any texture that you want. You can scan an object, a logo, you can use a digital photo or you can make up an image in Photoshop.
Water Texture. A water texture is very subtle, it needs to have color, reflectivity, transparency and bump.
Creating A Simple Texture With Color and Bump 2. A bump is the part of the texture that gives the 3D appearance, the lumpiness of you like.
