If you import a 3ds Max model or an FBX file that has a texture applied to it, that texture map and its parent Axis node is
attached to the geometry through a Material node.
You can use the materials imported with the model, or replace the texture with another texture map, or even a Subtance texture.

larger than 0. Editable.
NoteSpecular lighting sets the colour of light reflected by the 3D model's surface. To enable the specular highlight, the Shine
value must be larger than zero.

NoteAmbient lighting sets colour to the area of the 3D model that is not illuminated by a direct light source. The edge of the
ambient area mixes with the specular highlight colour and the diffuse colour.
- Red Diffuse field

NoteDiffuse lighting modifies the colour and illumination of the entire 3D model. Diffuse light mixes with the colour of the light
sources used to illuminate the 3D model. The diffuse colour may also mix with the ambient colour and the colour of the specular
highlight.
Surface Settings
- Transparency field
-
Displays the transparency level of the 3D model. Editable.
- Shine field
