Inter face
Size—Adjusts the size of the indentations. Use
this to make the scale of the stucco match your
geometry. Default=20.
Thick ness—Blurs the border between the two
colors. At 0, the borders are sharp. The higher the
Thickness, the more the borders are blurred and
the less distinct the indentations are. When you
use Stucco as a bump map, the indentations are
veryfaintat0.5anddisappearatvaluesnotmuch
greater. Default=0.15.
Threshold—Determines how much of Color #1
is mixed with Color #2. At 0, only Color #2
is displayed; at 1, only Color #1 is displayed.
Default=0.57.
Swap—Exchanges the two color com ponents.
Co lor #1—Represents the color of the indentations.
Co lor #2—Represents the b ackground stucco color.
Click one of the swatches to display the
Color
Selector (page 1–157)
and change one of these
component colors.
Tip: Because the Stucco map is meant to be used as
a bump map, usually you don’t need to adjust the
default colors.
Maps—Assigns a map to replace one of the color
components. Turning off the check box turns off
the associated map (the Stucco map reverts to the
associated color component).
