The TextureButtons

The settings in this ButtonsWindow visualise the Texture DataBlock. These buttons are only displayed if:

• the active Material has a Texure (see MaterialButtons).

• the active Lamp has a Texture (see LampButtons).

• the World block has a Texture (see WorldButtons)

Blender automatically selects the correct setting if the TextureButtons are called up from the MaterialButtons, LampButtons or WorldButtons. Hotkey: F6. Each Texture has a 3D coordinate (the texture coordinate) as input. What happens here is determined by the type of texture:

• Intensity textures: return one value. The previewrender in this window shows this as grey values.

• RGB textures: returns three values; they always work on colour.

• Bump textures: returns three values; they always work on the normal vector. Only the "Stucci" and "Image" texture can give normals.

The DataButtons in the Header indicate what Texture block is visualised.
