Texture mapping in EnSight 8.2 & How to load multiple models |
|
|
|
|
Many
of our clients have been asking about EnSight's ability to load
multiple models at the same time so we created a tutorial to help you
with this task. Click here to view the tutorial.
As you all know, CEI just released a new version of EnSight last
month, version 8.2. If you were unsure whether or not you wanted to upgrade,
take a look at one of our newest features, texture mapping, which allows you to read and apply 2D textures to any part.
Texture mapping
The color dialog in Part mode now has a button "Edit texture...." which
brings up a dialog that allows you to read and apply 2D textures to any
part. Many options are available. Texture images are available from many places on the Internet, for example, http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/texture/.

stained brown metal texture and the use of transparency in the scalar
field of methane concentration used to recreate a realistic looking
combustion flame.

To use textures simply select "Edit texture ..." from the part color
dialog.

Selecting "Edit Texture.." will bring up the texture dialog, this includes 8 texture palettes from which to access
frequently used textures. |
