Max Texture Size This option affects the visual details of the textures applied
to geometry. Enter the desired value in pixels. For example, a value of 128
means the maximum texture size of 128 pixels x 128 pixels.
The higher the value, the higher the load on your graphics card, as more MB
in memory is required to render textures.
Max Image Texture Size Specifies the maximum size for texture images in
pixels. For example, a value of 256 means the maximum texture size of 256
pixels x 256 pixels.
The higher the value, the higher the load on your graphics card, as more MB
in memory is required to render textures.
Max Background Texture Specifies the maximum size for background textures
in pixels. For example, a value of 256 means the maximum texture size of 256
pixels x 256 pixels.
The higher the value, the higher the load on your graphics card, as more MB
in memory is required to render textures.
Blend Transparent Textures Select this check box to use partially transparent
objects. This option improves overall quality, but takes longer to render.
When this check box is clear, items with transparency of more than 50% are
treated as completely transparent, and are not rendered.
Use Texture Anti-Aliasing Indicates whether anti-aliasing is used for
procedural textures. Selecting this check box improves quality, but takes longer
to render.
A procedural texture is a mathematically- generated image that represents
natural elements such as wood, marble, granite, metal, stone, and so on. In
Presenter, procedural textures have ball-style preview icons.
Hardware Shading Selects the hardware-accelerated shading.
NOTE This option can only be used on machines with OpenGL 1.5 compliant
graphics cards.
Choose from the following options:
■ Off - turns off hardware-accelerated shading.
■ Lighting - only lights are shown.
■ Passive Shadows - both lights and shadows are turned off during
navigation, and automatically reappear when navigation stops.
■ Interactive Shadows - both lights and shadows are shown during
navigation.
