[Paraview] To improve the surface of a 3D model

Hi Chathuri,

Please keep your replies on the list so that others may have a chance to

i meant applying a texture to the model rather than coloring it. Is it

Yes, it is possible. Please see page 60 as numbered on the pages (page 74
in the PDF) in the ParaView Guide to see how:

http://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.

downloadFile=ParaViewGuide-CE-v5.0.0.pdf

The relevant text is copied here for your convenience:

"Properties under the Miscellaneous group include Pickable. Uncheck this if
you want the dataset to be ignored when making selections. If the dataset
has a texture coordinates array, you can apply a texture to the dataset
surface using the Texture combo-box. Choose Load to load a texture or apply
a previously loaded texture listed in the combo-box. If your dataset
doesn’t have texture coordinates, you can create them by applying one of
Texture Map to Cylinder, Texture Map to Sphere, or Texture Map To Plane
filters."

HTH,
Cory
