fileTextureName
(ftn)
| File Texture Name is the name of an image file. The image in this file will be used as the texture. If you want to use a numbered sequence of image files in your texture (i.e., animate your texture, set this to the name of the first image in the sequence. |
disableFileLoad
(dfl)| If set, then the texture file will not be loaded into the node. Instead a flat, grey color will be output in place of the image. |
useFrameExtension
(ufe)| When Use Frame Extension is on, the frame number in the file name will be replaced with the number specified in the Frame Extension attribute. Use this when you want to animate the texture. (See notes in the description section above.) |
frameExtension
(fe)
| Frame Extension replaces the frame extension number in the file name (if there is one). This attribute is only meaningful if Use FrameExtension is turned on. Keyframe this attribute when you want to use a sequence of files as a file texture. (See notes in the description section above.) |
frameOffset
(io)| Specifies an offset of the keyed Frame Extension value. This attribute is only meaningful if Use FrameExtension is turned on. |
useHardwareTextureCycling
(uhc)
Use Hardware Texture Cycling. Turn this on to get better
performance when:
|
startCycleExtension
(sce)| Start Cycle Extension is the number of the first frame you want loaded into memory when Use Hardware Texture Cycling is turned on. (See above). |
endCycleExtension
(ece)| End Cycle Extension is the number of the last frame you want loaded into memory when Use Hardware Texture Cycling is turned on. (See above). |
byCycleIncrement
(bci)| By Cycle Increment controls which frames will be loaded into memory when Use Hardware Texture Cycling is turned on. If it is 1, then every frame between Start Cycle Extension and End Cycle Extension will be loaded in. If this is 2, every second frame will be loaded in. If this is 3, every third frame, etc. During playback or scrubbing, the system will use whichever loaded frame is the closest to what is needed. |
forceSwatchGen
(fsg)
| Force swatch generation despite image size |
filterType
(ft)|
Filter Type determines what kind of filter Maya will use
when applying the file texture. Each kind of filter has slightly
different properties and costs in performance.
No Filter means just that. No
filter is applied to the file texture. This is the fastest in terms
of rendering, but will usually produce substandard results. Using
this will probably result in aliasing artifacts (jaggies). Mip
Map filtering is the best choice for all-round general use. Its
cost is negligible compared to the other filter types, and it
generally does a good job. Internally, the renderer stores a
'pyramid' of versions of the texture, each a different resolutions,
and as it renders it chooses the best ones for calculation.
Box filtering works by placing a 'box' over the the area of
the texture map to be sampled, and averaging out all the samples
within the box. Do not use this filter type if the file texture is
to be used as a 2d projection or bump map, as it will not work
properly. Quadratic and Quartic filters give a
somewhat better quality of filtering. Like the Box filter, they
sample an area of the texture, but they give more weight to samples
closer to the center of the area. These filters approximate the
quality of Gaussian, but are optimized to be faster. However, if
you use these filter types, textures may "swim" or appear blurry.
Do not use these filter type if the file texture is to be used as a
2d projection or bump map, as they will not work properly.
Gaussian filtering is slower, but gives the best quality.
Use this for high-quality rendering with very sharp results.

miConvertToOptim
(cto)| Automatically convert texture to a pyramidal, tileable format for rendering, using the settings for auto-conversion found in the user preferences. |
useCache
(uca)| Use Cache is provided for situations when memory is low. If you turn this on, rendering this file texture will use less memory, but it will also be slower. |
useMaximumRes
(umr)| Use Maximum Res is only meaningful if your filter type is set to MipMap. If you turn this on, it forces the MipMap to always use the highest-resolution version of the texture. |
