MXM to ‘Shaded’ Renderer
...
- This dialog controls how bitmap textures in the MXM are assigned to formZ's 'Shaded' modes. This is necessary for editing the position, scale, and rotation of textures. If an MXM uses a bitmap texture, and one is not assigned to the corresponding formZ 'Shaded' material, a rendering error will likely occur.
MXM to ‘Shaded’ Renderer

|---|
If an MXM uses bitmap textures, at least one must be assigned to formZ's 'Shaded' color or transparency channels. (If a map is not assigned to either channel, formZ will not generate UVs for the objects that the material has been assigned to, resulting in a rendering error.) |
