background. The custom background is stored in the 3dsmax.ini on page 83 file, so it is available from session to session. Default=off. Display Multi/Sub-Object Material Propagation Warning Toggles display of warning dialog when you apply a Multi/Sub-Object material on page 5720 to an instanced ADT style-based object. Auto-Select Texture Map Size When on, and you have a material that uses a texture map set to Use Real-World Scale, ensures that the map will be displayed correctly on the sample sphere. Turn off to be able to enable Use Real-World Map Size For Geometry Samples (see following). NOTE If a material uses several texture maps at different levels, and only one is set to Use Real-World Scale, the sample sphere will render with real-world size coordinates. Use Real-World Map Size For Geometry Samples This is a global setting that allows you to manually choose which style of texture coordinates are used. When on, real-world coordinates are used for the sample slot display. Otherwise, the old style of 3ds Max mapping coordinates is active. When off, you must turn on Use Real-World Scale on the map's Coordinates rollout to see the sample sphere as you'd expect. Available only when Auto-Select Texture Map Size (above) is off. Default=off. Top Light color/Back Light color Specify the two lights used in the sample slots. Click the color swatch to alter the color of either light. Adjust the Multiplier spinners to multiply the values (intensity) of the lights. Use the Default buttons to return to the initial settings. Ambient Light Shows the color of ambient light on page 7906 used in the sample slots. Click the color swatch to change the color. When the lock button is on, changing the Ambient Light color here or on the Environment panel on page 6689 changes both; when off, changing one setting does not affect the other. Use the Default button to return to the initial setting. Background Intensity Sets the background intensity in the sample slots. The range is from 0 (black) to 1 (white). Default=0.2. Use the Default button to return to the initial setting. Render Sample Size Sets the scale of the sample sphere to any size, making it consistent with the object or objects in the scene that have the texture on them. This setting affects how 2D and 3D maps are displayed providing that the sample spheres are set to display real-world scale. 5338 | Chapter 19 Material Editor, Materials, and Maps
