Lessonator | Editing Layers — Defining Instrument Texture
| Defining Instrument Texture The Instrument texture box is used to apply a user-defined image onto the slide’s 3D instrument. The Instrument Texture Box The instrument texture box appears under the color box when a 3D instrument is selected. I allows you to assign one of the 4 available slide images as a texture to be applied on the instrument’s body. To do so: Using the Slide panel (⌘.), load a texture image into one of the 4 available slots. Select the 3D instrument. Click on the thumbnail button corresponding to the image you want to apply as texture: None – no texture is applied. Image 01-04 – Slide Image 01-04 is applied. Note that a dot indicates an empty image slot - just like in the Slide panel. Instrument Texture Template For texture mapping to work, new textures will have a dimension of 1024 x 768 pixels and look like this: This template shows you where the top, back and sides of the guitars are to be painted. To obtain a copy of the template image shown above, follow these steps: Using the menu, click File->Export Instrument Texture Template... Using the File panel, choose a name and location of your template file. Load the Template file into your favorite image editor and add the graphics you want to appear on the guitar.
