Texture Units are contained within an OgreMax Pass:

Bindings

• Processing Unit - The processing unit that will access the texture unit.
• Texture Coordinate Set - The vertex texture coordinate set used by the texture unit.

Color Blend

• Function - Color blending function used by the fixed-function pipeline.
• Source 1 - Indicates where the first color source comes from.
• Source 2 - Indicates where the second color source comes from.
• Alpha - Constant alpha value.
• Manual Color 1 and 2 - Colors corresponding to Source 1 and 2, respectively.

Alpha Blend

• Function - Alpha blending function used by the fixed-function pipeline.
• Source 1 - Indicates where the first alpha source comes from.
• Source 2 - Indicates where the second alpha source comes from.
• Alpha - Constant alpha value.
• Manual Alpha 1 and 2 - Alpha values corresponding to Source 1 and 2, respectively.

Layer Blend Fallback

Texture Coordinate Generation

• Environment Mapping - Indicates the type of environment mapping used in the texture unit.
• U Addressing Mode - The addressing mode of a texture coordinate's U component.
• V Addressing Mode - The addressing mode of a texture coordinate's V component.
• W Addressing Mode - The addressing mode of a texture coordinate's W component.
• Border Color/Alpha - The border color to use when using Border addressing mode.

Filtering

• Advanced - Indicates whether the filtering mode should be specified with the low-level settings.
• Mode - The high-level filtering mode.
• Minification/Magnification/Mip Filter - The low-level filtering modes.
• Maximum Anisotropy - The maximum degree of anisotropy that the renderer will try to compensate for when filtering textures. For more information, see the Ogre 3D Documentation.
• Mip Bias - Biasing used by the renderer when selection which mip level to use.

Transform

• Scroll U/V - Translates texture coordinates by a fixed amount.
• Scale U/V - Scales texture coordinates by a fixed amount. The scale is the inverse of a Maya Bitmap's 'Tiling' setting. For example, a tiling setting of 2 would be a scale of 0.5.
• Rotate - Rotates texture coordinates by a fixed amount.

Transform Animation

• Scroll U/V - The rate of translation applied to texture coordinates, per second.
• Rotate - The rate of rotation applied to texture coordinates, per second.

Waveform Transform Animations

Texture

• Source - Indicates where the texture comes from.
• Alias - Alias for the texture name. If empty, the appropriate bitmap file name is used.

• Single Texture
  • Bitmap - A bitmap file. Before selecting this file, the other settings should be chosen as appropriate.
  • Type - The type of texture to be created from the bitmap file.
  • Format - The format of the bitmap file.
  • Alpha - Indicates whether the bitmap contains only alpha information.
  • Render Texture - A dynamic render-to-texture bitmap.
  • Shadow - Indicates the shadow texture will be provided by Ogre at runtime.
  • Compositor - Indicates the texture will come from a compositor.

• Compositor
  • Compositor Name - The name of the compositor being referenced.
  • Texture Name - The name of the texture to reference in the compositor.
  • MRT Index - The index of the texture to take from the compositor, in the event that multiple render targets are being used.

• Cubic Texture Files - 6 files, each making up a face of unit cube
  • Type - Indicates how the faces of the cubic textures should be addressed. For more information, see the Ogre 3D Documentation.
  • Base Name - The base file name of the cubic texture files. For example, 'sky.jpg' refers to the following 6 files:
    1. 'sky_fr.jpg'
    2. 'sky_bk.jpg'
    3. 'sky_up.jpg'
    4. 'sky_dn.jpg'
    5. 'sky_lf.jpg'
    6. 'sky_rt.jpg'
    Since the base file name doesn't contain a directory, the resource location containing these textures must be configured in the Scene Settings dialog in order for them to appear in the Material Viewer.
  • Front/Back/Left/Right/Up/Down - Separate cubic texture files. They must all be specified in order for them to function properly.

• Animated Texture
  • Sequence Length - The length of the animation, in seconds.
  • Base Name/# Frames - The base file name of the animated texture files. For example, 'frame.jpg' with '# Frames' set to 2 refers to the following files:
    1. 'frame_0.jpg'
    2. 'frame_1.jpg'
    Since the base file name doesn't contain a directory, the resource location containing these textures must be configured in the Scene Settings dialog in order for them to appear in the Material Viewer.
  • Frames - Frames of animation, specified individually.

• Custom - Custom textures are user defined textures. Note that OgreMax will not display these types of textures in real-time.
  • External - A custom texture type that is handled by a plugin outside of Ogre 3D's core texture handling system.
  • • Source - The external texture source. This text will be exported exactly as it is typed, so it is important that it doesn't contain characters, such as '{' and '}', that will invalidate the exported material file's format.
    • Parameters - The external parameters. This text will be exported exactly as they are typed, so it is important that it doesn't contain characters, such as '{' and '}', that will invalidate the exported material file's format.
