Database Properties (Editor)
Available in: Shaper or Matter. File > Edit Database Properties |
Each database possesses a set of properties concerning the displayed rendering, the color management, and the database format and creation. This information can be viewed or modified in the Database Properties.
Rendering Tab
A database's rendering options are used to optimize Patchwork 3D's performance with certain less powerful hardware configurations. In the Rendering tab, the options Force texture dimensions in powers of two and Reduce Lightmap Size work to limit the resources required for rendering.
Warning
These options are intended for advanced users. Enabling these options can affect your rendering in unexpected ways, particularly where smaller databases are concerned.
Color Management Tab
The colorimetric profile defines the interpretation of the color values (RVB, CMYK or LAB) by matching them with measurable physical quantities (expressed in the space CIE XYZ or LAB). For the rendering and adjustment of materials displayed on the screen to be consistent with the colors and the shades of the real materials, it is essential to work in a defined colorimetric space. Patchwork 3D provides tools for defining, installing and managing the colorimetric profiles of the workspace, of imported images and of images produced by the software.
In this tab, you can consult and modify the profiles used by the open database.
To set the behavior concerning Color management profiles for new databases, refer to the settings available in the Color tab of the File > Settings menu item.
Application Tab
This tab contains information on the origins of the open database. The name and version of the application with which it was last saved are displayed.
