Objective

Apply 2D image files to express the surface texture of fabric.

Operation

Via Drag and Drop

1. Open a folder that contains the desired texture image in your file browser.
2. Drag and drop the texture image onto a pattern in the 2D or 3D window.
   → The texture of all patterns using the same Fabric will have the new texture applied.

※ Note:

• If a texture image is already applied, the existing texture image will be replaced when applying a new texture image via drag and drop.
• Drag and drop an image file directly from the file browser to the Open icon next to the Texture menu in the Property Editor (Ver. 4.0.0).
• Drag and drop an image file directly from the file browser to an object in the program, then select the correct map: texture, normal, specular (Ver. 4.0.0).
• After Base Color Texture image is applied, maps for Displacement, Opacity, Roughness, and Metalness channel can be automatically generated using PBR Map Generator (ver. 2024.1).
• If using a Base Color Map with an alpha (to transmit transparency) and Opacity Map are applied at the same time, the alphas of both are reflected in the transparency result (ver.2024.1)
• Before (Ver. 2024.1) when the Base Color Map and Opacity Map were applied at the same time: only the alpha of the Opacity Map was reflected in the transparency expression, not the alpha of the Basecolor Map.  Now the alpha of both maps is applied (Ver. 2024.1)
• You can now "open your Texture File with Another App"  (this is found under Property editor > material > Base color > base color map > ellipsis (...) for quick editing (Ver. 2025.0)

Via Property Editor

• Select a Fabric to apply a texture image to from the Fabric tab in the Object Browser.
• Follow the path: Property Editor ▶ Fabric ▶ Texture Open button.
  → The Open File window appears.
• Find and select the desired texture image from the file browser, then load.
  → The selected texture image is now applied to the Fabric.
