In response to a request to post the attributes and textures covered in the
Surface Master software, I post the following:
Spheres and cubes are rendered in color on menu screens (very nice)
with libraries of objects, attributes and textures included in the
package. Each of the following categories displayed on a submenu screen:
Reflect/Filter 4 x 4 matrix of spheres with RGB and intensity values
Dithering/Roughness 2 x 4 matrix of spheres with intensity values (50-225)
Specular/Hardness 2 x 4 matrix of spheres with intensity values (50-225)
Color 49 colored spheres in a color wheel;9 spheres in grayscale
Shininess 3 x 4 matrix of spheres with shininess, filter, and index of
refraction values
Index of Refraction 3 x 3 matrix of spheres with intensity values (1-3.4)
Linear/Radial (textures) 4 x 3 matrix of spheres with transition width
and reflect/filter RGB values
Checks/Angular (textures) 4 x 3 matrix of spheres with angular, checksize,
and reflect/filter RGB values
Grid/Dots (textures) 4 x 4 matrix of cubes with gridsize, reflect/filter RGB,
and dot spacing values
Bricks (texture) 4 x 4 matrix of cubes with XYZ shift, Y shift with Z value,
Z shift with Y value, and reflect/filter RGB values.
Disturbed (texture) 4 x 4 matrix of spheres with amount, wavelength, X
separation, and small values
Wood (texture) 4 x 4 matrix of spheres with ring spacing, exponent, variation
and random seed values
Preset Materials 4 jewels (diamond, ruby, saphire, and emerald) and 12
spheres (glass, crystal, water, quartz, steel, pewter,
plastic, ivory, chrome, gold, brass, and copper)
Woods 12 spheres with the following types of wood: birch, mahogany, cherry
oak, pine, red cedar, zebra wood, red mahogany, black walnut, ash
walnut and tulip (? - can't read my own writing)
Combos 16 cube assortment demonstrating mixed textures including:
wood/grid, grid/wood, linear/disturb, bricks/linear, bricks/wood,
and bricks/linear
That's the list. Have fun with it (I sure am). Just want to mention that I
do not even know Louis Markoya so I am just posting this as a satisfied
customer.
