Position Controls the coordinates and rotation of the material on a swatch.
■ Offset. Moves the starting point of the map along the X or Y axis.
■ Rotation. Rotates the map from 180 degrees to (-180) degrees. Rotation is
not available for spherical and cylindrical mapping. Use MATERIALMAP
on page 1114 to display the mapping gizmo that can rotate box, planar,
spherical and cylindrical maps.
Scale Controls the scaling of the procedural maps on materials.
■ Sample Size. Specifies the vertical or horizontal scaling for procedural maps
on materials. This setting is only available on Checker, Gradient, and Tiles.
Repeat Controls the creation and modification of a map pattern.
■ Horizontal. Adjusts the tiling of the map along the X axis.
■ Vertical. Adjusts the tiling of the map along the Y axis.
Tile causes the map to be tiled within the material. None specifies no
modifications to the map pattern.
