Newbie Queston about Shading 2003-11-19 - By Mick Stiers
Back I am using C3 to animate industrial machinery for marketing purposes. The equipment is designed in a solid modeling package (SolidWorks) and I import it as a .3ds file into C3.
When an object is imported, it all comes in as one color (shade?). I would like the ability to shade portions of the object differently. For example, if I import a machine table, I would like to shade the legs to simulate a painted surface, but shade the top to simulate an aluminum plate. Is it possible to do this or do I have to make the legs one imported part and the top another?
The whole texture room is very confusing to someone of so experience as me. Are there any on-line resources that I can access that may provide more guidance than the C3 manual?
Thanks in advance,
Mick
