Material specifications Diffuse The color of the material. The diffuse map can be a solid color or any 2D content. The Diffuse color swatch value sets the diffuse color if you choose to remove the diffuse texture map. You can also create a diffuse map by painting directly on the model.

Opacity Increases or decreases opacity of the material (0100%). You can use a texture map or the scrubby slider to control opacity. The grayscale values of the texture map control the opacity of the material.

White values create complete opacity and black values create complete transparency.

Bump Creates bumps in the material surface, without altering the underlying mesh. A bump map is a grayscale image in which lighter values create raised surface areas and darker values create flatter surface areas. You can create or load a bump map file, or begin painting on the model to automatically create a bump map file.

The Bump field increases or reduces bumpiness. It is only active if a bump map exists. Enter a number in the field or use the scrubby slider to increase or decrease bump strength.

Bumpiness is most pronounced when a surface is viewed head on, rather than at an angle.

Normal Like a bump map texture, a normal map increases surface detail. Unlike a bump texture map, which is based on a single-channel grayscale image, a normal map is based on a multi-channel (RGB) image. The values of each color channel represent the x, y, and z components of a normal on the model surface.
