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.

AmbientIntensity 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.
CircleFishPrototype 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).
CircleFishPTPrototype 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).
