Using Different Media for the Normal Source
 
 
 

You can specify different media as the normal source.

To use another media as the normal source for a surface of Media1:

  1. Click Media to access the Media menu.
  2. Select a media from the Media list, or click <new media> and Add to return to the Desktop to add new media.
    NoteIf Auto Image or Auto DVE is selected in the Auto Image option box in the Setup menu, an image node and axis, or a DVE Layer Object node is created when adding new media. These nodes are not needed for normal mapping, and can be hidden or deleted.
  3. In the schematic, select the Normal node whose media you want to change.

    Notice that in Schematic view, the number next to the name of the selected Normal node is (1), indicating the media used for the displacement is Media1.

  4. In the Media menu, click Apply.

    In Schematic view, the number next to the name of the selected Normal node change to (2), for example. (2) indicates Media2 is used as the normal source.
