3.8. Texture maps

Dali Renderer supports the following texture maps built into 3DS MAX:

Bitmap

- The only "Texture" mode of texture coordinates is supported. "Environment" mode is not supported.

- Mapping "Explicit Map Channel", "Planar from Object XYZ", "Planar from World XYZ" are supported.

- For the "Explicit Map Channel" mapping mode, only the texture channels 1-8 are supported.

- "Offset", "Tiling", "Mirror", "Tile", "Angle", "XY", "YZ", "ZX" options are fully supported.

- Noise tab is supported, but the implementation differs from 3DS MAX.

- All parameters of the "Bitmap Parameters" tab are not supported, except for the file path.

- The "Time" tab is currently not supported.

- Tab "Output" is fully supported.

Dali Renderer supports the following bitmap formats: JPEG, JPEG2000, TIF, BMP, EXR, PNG, HDR.

JPEG2000 and EXR can contain up to 8 channels, each channel can be 8, 16 or 32 bits. Full and half precision floating numbers are supported.

TIF can be 8 or 16 bits per channel.

Single-channel monochrome bitmaps are supported.

Bitmaps can include any color profile.
Composite

Full support, but the number of layers cannot be more than 32.
Gradient

- Restrictions for the "Coordinates" tab are the same as for Bitmap.

- The result of the "Noise" tab will be different from 3DS MAX.

- "Gradient Parameters" supports everything except "Regular" noise. The result of the "Noise" settings will differ from 3DS MAX.

- Tab "Output" is fully supported.
Falloff

Full support.
Mask

Full support.
Mix

The result of the Mixing curve calculations will be different from 3DS MAX: Dali Renderer uses a different type of interpolation.
Noise

- Restrictions for the "Coordinates" tab are the same as for Bitmap.

- "Noise Parameters" supports everything except "Regular" noise.

- Tab "Output" is fully supported.
Output

Full support.
RGB Multiply

Full support.
RGB Tint

Full support.
Substance

Restrictions for the "Coordinates" tab are the same as for Bitmap.
Substance2

- Restrictions for the "Coordinates" tab are the same as for Bitmap.

- Currently there is no way to know the size of the texture specified in the texture map. Dali Renderer uses a fixed resolution of 4096*4096.
Physical Sun & Sky Environment

Full support with sampling optimization.
