Importing mtextur

An mtextur texture can be imported into Vectorworks as a Renderworks texture and/or an image file. Many of the textures have the reflectivity, transparency, and bump shaders needed for a detailed Renderworks texture. When additional information such as manufacturer name, and so on is available in the mtextur resource, this information is included as a searchable tag in the Resource Manager for the imported Renderworks texture and/or image file.

Imported Renderworks textures can be adjusted as needed by Editing textures and shaders.
