Resurfacing

You can apply a new texture to the selected object. Adjust the parameters in the Settings Panel in the Texture tab.

The built-in Texture Library has a great variety of textures. To open the Texture Library you should double-click with the left mouse button on the square with a texture. All textures are divided into groups: stone, fabric, flowers, etc. To select a pattern you should first select a group from the group tree and then double-click the required texture with the left mouse button.

You can also use your own textures. To load your image as a texture into AKVIS Decorator, you should open the Texture Library, press the button and select your texture in the dialog box.

To come back to the Settings Panel without selecting a texture, just press the button .

Adjust the Angle, Scale and Color of the selected texture.

• Angle (-180 to 180). This parameter sets the rotation angle of the texture. A negative value rotates the texture counterclockwise, a positive one - clockwise.

  Angle = 0	Angle = -45	Angle = -90

• Scale (10-200%). This parameter sets the scale of the pattern. By default, the scale is 100%. If you reduce the value of the parameter, the pattern size on the texture gets smaller, if you increase the value of the parameter, the pattern takes more space on the texture.

  Scale = 50	Scale = 100	Scale = 155

• Color check-box. This allows you to change the color of the chosen texture. Only its color changes; its brightness and saturation stay the same.

  To change the color of a texture you should first activate the check-box near the color plate. Click on the plate to activate the eyedropper tool, double click to open the selection color dialog.

Adjust the parameters that influence the way the texture is applied to the object:

• Brightness (10-200). This parameter lets you lighten or darken the selected area. The default value is 100. The higher the value, the brighter the image is.

  Brightness = 70	Brightness = 120

• Deepness (0-100). This parameter influences the amount of light and shade on an image. At 0, shades, folds and gradients are ignored; as a result the object looks flat. The higher the parameter, the more pronounced highlights and shades become, and the image looks deeper. However, if the value of the parameter is too high, some parts can become overexposed or underexposed.

  Deepness = 5	Deepness = 35

• Warping (0-100). This parameter sets the level of the texture warping. At 0, the texture is not warped at all, the higher the parameter, the more deformed the texture is.

  Warping = 10	Warping = 90

• Light Source. Use the dagger on the ball to set the probable light source when the photo was taken. The position of the light source influences the texture wrapping.
