Visibility of Surface Pattern in realistic view

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:53:25 GMT

I have applied model surface pattern to wall.

The surface pattern is shown when visibility is in shaded or wireframe mode but the pattern visibility is off when kept in realistic view.

How do i make settings so that i can see the pattern in realistic view?

PFA- Screenshot's of shaded and realistic views

Thanks in advance!

Realistic and raytraced views are governed by the material's appearance tab.

It's not possible.

The material's appearance in Realistic view is defined by the Appearance tab. Hence the name "Realistic View".

The surface pattern (fill pattern) is only visible in Hidden Line and Shaded View (and maybe Consistent Colors as well, not sure).

If you want a texture in Realistic view, you'll have to create a new appearance asset and set an image.

Find a photograph of the material, as .jpg, and add the .jpg file to the properties of the material.
