You are not restricted to the few textures that Giza provides; you may download textures from manufacturers’ websites or scan the texture to get the best looking textures. To add a user texture:
-
Select User Texture in the Material Assignments dialog box.
-
Click the Add button.
-
Browse for the appropriate .bmp or .jpg image on your computer and choose Open.
Note: The file must already be downloaded to your computer or a server; it cannot be taken directly from a manufacturer’s Website. -
Provide a Category (this helps to organize the textures), a Name for the Texture and an approximate Size of the texture image, and click OK.
Note: Providing a size will help the texture to map correctly. If a woodgrain is 6” across the size should be 6”. If it is entered as 6’ the graining will seem unrealistic and overly large. After the texture is added you can go to the Select function and browse user textures to select the desired texture.
