ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 321 User Guide Shaders and shader properties determine the appearance of the surface of the 3D text model. Textures are 2D images drawn on the surface of the text. Use the Property inspector to assign a texture to the text's shader. You can also control the color of the shader's specular highlights and its diffuse or overall color and reflectivity. As with any model, you can apply a texture that uses a bitmap cast member. You can import a bitmap cast member or create a new one in the Paint window. Be sure to give your bitmap cast member a name if it doesn't already have one. To assign this bitmap as the texture, specify it in the Property inspector. Select Member from the Shader Texture menu, and then enter the name of the member you want to use in the text box to the right of the menu. Script and 3D text Director contains methods and properties in Lingo and JavaScript syntax for working with 3D text. Most 3D methods and properties work with 3D text exactly as with any other object. Properties are also described in the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel. Exceptions The following methods and properties work differently when used with 3D text.
