In-Depth Information
Below the
Available Visual Styles in Drawing
area are buttons to create a new
visual style, to apply the selected visual style, to export the selected visual style to
the
TOOL PALETTES
command palette, thus making it available to other drawings,
and to delete the selected visual style. The shortcut menu over one of the slots also
has options to apply it to all viewports, edit the description, copy and paste, modify
the sample's size, and reset to the default parameters.
Visual styles' parameters are divided into:
•
Face Settings
: This parameter controls the face style (
Realistic
,
Gooch
,
or
None
), lighting quality, color, opacity, and the material's display
•
Lighting
: This parameter controls the highlight intensity and the shad-
ow's display
•
Environmental Settings
: This parameter controls the background
•
Edge Settings
: This parameter controls if the edges are displayed and
how they are displayed, their color, and their sketchy effect
Exercise 2.3
Better than an exhaustive description of all parameters is to apply a practical ex-
ample. Besides the specified values, we may play around with options and values.
