Procedures

To adjust the size of Marble veins:

• In the Marble Parameters rollout, change the Size value to change the overall scale of the vein pattern, and change Vein Width to change the width of veins relative to the overall scale.

  The larger the Size value, the wider the veins. The larger the Vein Width value, the more veins appear relative to the overall pattern.

To change vein color:

1. In the Marble Parameters rollout, click a color swatch to display the Color Selector.
2. Adjust the color.
3. Click Close to dismiss the dialog.

To use a map for a vein:

• In the Marble Parameters rollout, click a map button to assign a map to a color.

  Alternatively, use the Slate Material Editor to wire a map to the Color 1 or Color 2 component.

To swap the two vein colors:

• On the Marble Parameters rollout, click Swap.

To adjust mapping coordinates:

• On the Coordinates rollout, adjust Offset, Tiling, or Angle.
