Real newbie questions
Just got my registered Cheetah3d and am having a blast. Just getting started in playing with graphics. Questions:
- Can I use bumpmaps with my textures and, if so, how?
- I need an explanation of the different types of materials in the material drawer. How they differ, how they're used, why pick one over another...
- I've been using some textures and models from 3dCafe. Sometimes when I try to apply a texture - bricks - to a large wall, the bricks expand in size to fill the space and I end up with bricks that look like there huge. How do I avoid this problem?
- If I create a scene in Cheetah3d is there a way to use it in an OpenGL program. Say I create a model of my house... can I use it in an OpenGL program to create a 'walk-through' simulation.
That's it for now. More to come for sure.
Thanks.
