Materials
(Material Functions)
It's easy to add realistic materials to PlantStudio plant objects in
Vue.
*
Single layer/object (one plant = one object)
* Multiple layers/objects (one object
for each type of part)
* Individual layers/objects (one object
for each plant part). Follow the directions given for multiple layers/objects,
but you will be applying materials to each individual part, not to several
parts as one object.
* UV mapping. My experiments with this have not worked well.
