Enhance:AM Tiles Series
 AM_FishScales Texture
This texture provides round scale pattern much like fish scales. It can be scaled to produce a longer scales much like bird feathers.
Function Parameters
Scale Radius This parameter controls the radius of the scales. This parameter is expressed as percentage of its maximum possible value. To get prefect scales use 50%
Scale Edge Bevel This parameter controls the width of the scale bevels (edges). This is the raised section of the scale directly affected by the bump height. This parameter is expressed as percentage of its maximum possible value.
Axis Parameters
Scale These three parameters control the size of the texture in the X, Y and Z direction respectively. The textures are applied to an object based on a texture axes where the size of the axes controls the size of the texture. These parameters therefore control the scale of the texture axes and therefore the size of the texture.
Center These three parameters control the center of the texture with respect to an object's center point. The textures are applied to an object based on a texture axis the center of the texture axis is by default at the center point for the object. The center texture axis can be moved away from the center point by adjusting these parameters. These three parameters control the translation of the center of the texture in the X, Y and Z axis respectively.
Rotate These three parameters control the orientation of the texture with respect to the object. The textures are applied to an object based on a texture axis that is by default lined up to the X, Y and Z axis of the object. The texture can then be rotated with respect to the object about the texture axes center using these three parameters.
Mapping This parameter gives a choice of five mapping methods. These are: Planar which maps the texture flat in two axis, Spherical which maps the texture to a sphere, Cylindrical which maps the texture to a cylinder and Cubic which maps the texture into 3D space. For information about texture mapping Click Me.
Axis This parameter allows the axis about which the texture is applied. For example, if the X axis is selected with Spherical mapping then the texture will be applied spherically with the poles lying on the X axis. In other words the selected axis will be perpendicular to the actual application of the texture. These options have no effect when Cubic mapping is being used.

Grout Color
Grout Color This color sets the color of the grout between the tiles.
Opacity This parameter controls the opacity of the grout color. At a value of zero the grout color is not used and the underlying color shows through, At 100% the grout color is applied full on. Values in between give varying degrees of opacity.
Affect Others
Diffuse Falloff The object's Diffuse Falloff can be controlled in the grout areas. This parameter controls the maximum possible Diffuse Falloff. This means that the Diffuse Falloff will be this value for the grout between the tiles. A switch is provided that determines whether the grout affects the Diffuse Falloff.
Ambience As with the Diffuse Falloff the Ambience of the object can be affected by the grout.
Reflectivity As with the Diffuse Falloff the Reflectivity of the object can be affected by the grout.
Reflectivity Falloff As with the Diffuse Falloff the Reflectivity Falloff of the object can be affected by the grout.
Roughness As with the Diffuse Falloff the Roughness of the object can be affected by the grout.
Roughness Scale As with the Diffuse Falloff the Roughness Scale of the object can be affected by the grout.
Radiance As with the Diffuse Falloff the Radiance of the object can be affected by the grout.
Affect Specularity
Specular Color This is the color will be used for the specular color unless the Use Derived Color is switched ON.
Affect Specular Color When this switch is ON the color of the specular highlight will be affected by the grout.
Use Derived Color If the Use Derived Color is OFF then the preset Specular Color, as above, is used otherwise if it is ON then the color result from the actual texture is used.
Specular Size The grout area between the tiles can control the Specular Size on the object. This parameter controls the maximum possible Specular Size. This means that the Specular Size will be this value for the grout between the tiles. A switch is provided which determines whether the grout is used to affect the Specular Intensity.
Specular Intensity As with the Specular Size the Specular Intensity of the object can be affected by the grout.
Affect Transparency
Transparency The grout area between the tiles can control the Transparency of the object. This parameter controls the maximum possible Transparency. This means that the Transparency will be this value for the grout between the tiles. A switch is provided which determines whether the grout is used to affect the Transparency.
Density As with the Transparency the Density of the object can be affected by the grout.
Refraction As with the Transparency the Refraction of the object can be affected by the grout.
Translucency As with the Transparency the Translucency of the object can be affected by the grout.
Bump
Bump Height This parameter determines the height of the bumps when positive or the depth of the pits when negative. For information about smoothing Click Me.
Lower Smooth This parameter controls the shape of the bottom edge of the bevel allowing different bevel shapes to be created. For information about smoothing Click Me.
Upper Smooth This parameter controls the shape of the upper edge of the bevel allowing different bevel shapes to be created. For information about smoothing Click Me.
