Importing Images for Reflectivity Shaders

The process of selecting a reflectivity shader is illustrated by the following flow chart.

To import a reflectivity image-based shader:

1. Select and import the image as described in Selecting the Image for Import.

The Edit Image Reflectivity dialog box opens. Specify the image-based shader properties.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Image preview	Edits to the image are displayed in the image preview
Change Image	Selects a different image for import
Flip H/V	Flips the image horizontally or vertically
Rotate	Rotates the image 90° counter-clockwise
