faces, unless the m aterial is textured. If textures
are displayed by multiplying them by the vertex
colors, they will be correctly displayed.
Add to colors—When on, the result of the color
conversion is added to exist ing vertex color values,
if there are any. Default=off.
Use self-illumination—When on, the material’s self
illumination is included in the final vertex colors.
Default=on.

Map Scaler (WSM)

This differs from the MapScaler (OSM) modifier
(page 1–705)
, which maintains the scale of the map
w ith respect to the object size when scaled with a
Select And Scale tool. See the latter’s definition for
other differences between the two versions.
Note: This world-space modifier is for use
primarily with vertically oriented objects, such
as walls in an architectural model, or objects
w ith large, flat surfaces. While you can apply the
MapScaler to any object, the results are less realistic
on curved surfaces, especially complex ones,
which can show cracks in the finished texture.

Scale—Representsthesizeofonerepetitionofthe
texture pattern. Size is measured in current system
units. Repetitions occur across the object in the U
and V direct ions. D efault=1.0.
Note: When the Use Real-World Texture
Coordinates switch is active in the
General
Preferences dialog (page 3–859)
,thescalesetting
defaults to 1.0. If Us e Real-World Texture

U/V Offset—Specify horizontal and vertical offsets
respectively. Available only when Wrap Texture
