The preview area of the Texture Synthesis dialog displays a preview of the current texture.
The options found in this area are summarized by the following table.
Option |
Description |
100% Button |
Sets the image to its actual size so that each of the image's pixels corresponds to one screen pixel. |
Fit Button |
Zooms the image in or out so that it is as large as possible while still fitting within the view area. |
+ Button |
Zooms in. The image will appear larger. |
- Button |
Zooms out. The image will appear smaller. |
Tile Image Button |
When this button is active, the image will be repeated, allowing you to evaluate it as a seamless texture. |
Resolution Drop-Down |
Specifies the size of the preview. Higher resolutions give a clearer view, but take longer to render. |
Preview Drop-Down |
The final drop-down controls whether the preview is of the entire texture, or only the currently selected layer. |
With "Whole Texture" selected, the preview will show the result of all layers. |
With "Current Layer" selected, only the selected layer's contribution to the texture will be shown. |
Dragging the preview with your right mouse button will pan the view.
