Steel Plate Parameters (Type Menu)
Wrap menu Determines how the source image wraps around the
sphere.
The Wrap menu does not appear when you use the
3D Sphere as a 3D primitive. See “Using the 3D
Sphere Shape as a 3D Primitive” on page 321.
Around. Wraps the image completely around the
shape. See Example 1 on page 339.
One Way Repeat. Renders two copies of the source
image, one on the front and one on the back of the
sphere. See Example 2 on page 339.
Back/Forth Repeat. Renders two copies of the
source, but the back copy is a mirror image. See
Example 3 on page 339.
Front. Maps the image onto the front of the sphere
and leaves the back transparent. See Example 4 on
page 339.
Tile. Similar to One Way but it also repeats the
image vertically as it unwraps. See Example 5 on
page 340
Perspective Determines the distance between the viewer’s eye
and the surface of the object. See Example 6 on
page 340.
• The maximum value places the viewer far away
from the shape.
• The minimum value puts the viewer just above
the surface.
Increasing Perspective enlarges the apparent size of
the object and emphasizes the part of the object that
is directly in front of the viewer.
