how to change the texture at Lightworks?

[Anonymous]

I managed to change the texture at Interior engine, but i can`t seem to find the way to change the texture at the Lightworks engine. And i don`t want to import the options from Interior to Lightworks.

Thanks for the answer once again Dwight.

I know how to enter to the Material settings, i have even managed to changed the texture at the Internal engine, but i don`t know how to do that at the LighWorks. Are you saying, that i need to change that "color" (at the screenshoot you gave me) to texture?

You can see a number of shader alternatives within each class. MAny of those options use an image.

Is there any particular reason that you do not wish to coordinate the Internal and LightWorks material appearance if merely using images as textures?

hm, if i understood it correctly: you ment, that i need to change the texture at the internal engine, and then just import (i am not sure if this is a correct word, but i know that there is a option at the Lightworks that enables importing from Internal engine) the options to the Lightworks?

If that is the case, then, no there`s no particular reason not to do that. It`s just i thought that importing a Internal engine options to Lightworks will result in poor (not poor, but with less quality) quality. Is this true?

Question: Will matching the Internal settings in LightWorks result in an inferior result?

Matching the Internal Settings ensures that the size of the image texture is maintained in LightWorks and is a good starting point to further refine the surface. I personally feel that Archicad users should explore the procedural shaders in LightWorks, where surface patterns are generated mathematically and do not rely on images, but there are uses for both methods and combinations as well.

Ok, i have understood you: i can import the Internal setting to Lightworks, without loosing on quality.

Thanks.
