Defining Textures

Overview

This page describes the elements used to define textures. Textures are referenced either from the material definition in the .cmdl file, or from the texture pattern animation definition in the .comate file. The <ImageTextureCtr> and <CubeTextureCtr> elements are defined inside the <Textures> element.

Image Texture

Defines a texture comprising a single pixel image.

The size and format of the image are defined in the <ImageTextureCtr> attribute. A Base64 encoded pixel image is defined in <PixelBasedImageCtr>.

Cube Texture

Defines a texture comprising a set of 6 pixel images assigned to the +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, and -Z directions.
