• Flooring When active, the material uses an Ocean shader (see Shaders in the LumeTools Collection) to add a slight warp to large surfaces, improving their realism. (You can still use the Relief Pattern map as well.)
• Furniture Surfaces are not warped, though you can still use the Relief Pattern for other surface effects.

Relief Pattern rollout

Type

• Based on wood grain (The default.) Generates a relief pattern based on the Image map used to display the wood pattern.
• Custom Lets you choose a bitmap to use for the relief pattern. While Custom is active, you can use the Image button to choose the map.
