If the value is of type intensity (e.g.The result depends on the type of value the texture provides. The target color is then taken from the RGB sliders in the Map To Panel. If you use No RGB only the intensity information from the picture is used.The slide number button Col governs the blending amount of the texture, Neg inverts the colourvalues.

The button Col in the Map To Panel uses the RGB information of the image to change the color of the material.Add an Image texture in the Texture Buttons and load the image (this is necessary also for UV mapped textures).Image 1b: The Map To Panel for a colormap. Noob Note: A simple Basic texturing Guide The Basics of texturing I. You can use an image or a procedural texture to change the color of a material. If you're really into texturing you need to learn how to UV-Map, there's no way around it.Ĭolormap Image 1a: An image applied as a texture to a plane. I will explain it using an image texture and procedural textures, but be aware of the fact that the texturing system is quite complex, and more advanced maps are created with the use of a few combined textures. We're going to see how to apply the texturing concepts within the Blender texturing system. It is free (as in free beer, not as in free speech like this book), so you should download and read it now, to take the most advantage out of this tutorial. There are some brilliant tutorials about texturing on the net, I personally like Texturing for Dummies, by Leigh Van Der Byl.
