X3D Example Archives: X3D4WA, X3D for Web Authors, Chapter 05 Appearance Material Textures

Appearance defines how color, material and texture images are applied as the visual characteristics of a shape.

Appearance is individually associated with specific geometry within a shared Shape node. Each Appearance is a container node that can include Material, TwoSidedMaterial, ImageTexture, MovieTexture, PixelTexture and MultiTexture nodes.

Appearance can also contain property nodes for controlling rendering and texture: FillProperties, LineProperties, TextureProperties, TextureTransform and MultiTextureTransform nodes.

The supporting Chapter 5 slideset and course videos (NPS, YouTube) for X3D for Web Authors are available online via X3dGraphics.com.

29 X3D Models		X3D Model Descriptions
	Ambient Intensity	This example illustrates the effect of an ambientIntensity field from a Sphere on a Cone. Note that navigation reports of user position and orientation from the WhereAmI prototype appear in the player console.
	Circle Fish Prototype	This is a prototype for a CircleFish, which is also used by CircleFishLod. Default fish size: length is 1 m (Y-axis), max Height is 1 m (Z-axis), max Width is 10 cm (X-axis).
	Circle Fish PTPrototype	This is a prototype for a CircleFish, which is also used by CircleFishLod. Default fish size: length is 1 m (Y-axis), max Height is 1 m (Z-axis), max Width is 10 cm (X-axis).
	Diffuse Color	A Sphere colored only with an diffuseColor.
	Emissive Color	A Sphere colored only with an emissiveColor.
	Fill Properties Example	Demonstrate various FillProperties values.
	Garibaldi	Instantiate the standard Garibaldi fish prototype.
	Garibaldi Local Texture	Instantiate the Garibaldi fish prototype using a local skin texture file.
	Garibaldi Remote	Instancing a prototype to match a specific fish.
	Garibaldi Remote No Texture	Instantiate the Garibaldi fish prototype using a remote skin texture file.
	Geometry Primitive Nodes Image Texture	Geometry Primitive Nodes: Shape, Box, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Text, FontStyle, with ImageTexture applied
	Line Properties Example	Demonstrate each of the various LineProperties enumeration values.
	Movie Texture Authoring Options	Provide examples of helpful MovieTexture usage
