| Select "File - Customize" in the menu to call up a dialog in which you can define some general program settings:
|
|
|
|
|
| On the "General" page you can edit:
|
| · | Number of last saved project files - The files you have worked on recently are listed under the "File" menu. Here you can specify how much files you want to show up in the list (1..10).
|
| · | Maximum Number of Undos and Undo Memory - The maximum number of undos and redos and the maximum memory for the undo files - Each working step in CyberMotion is recorded and saved to temporary files. Depending on the complexity of the project and the kind of working step that has to be recorded, these files can become very large. Therefore you can limit the maximum number of files and the maximum memory used for them with these parameters. If the memory limit is exceeded, then the number of recorded undos will automatically be reduced.
|
| · | Path for Temporary Files - Usually CyberMotion uses a temporary folder stipulated by the Windows system for saving temporary files that are created and deleted again in the background while working with CyberMotion. But you can also specify a particular folder to save these files.
|
|
|
| On the "Paths" page you can input up to 4 different path names. Simply press any of the 4 buttons and select the desired path in the Select Path dialog that then appears. The program will look under these paths later for the bitmap files, which can be used to project textures onto object surfaces.
|
| You can also place your bitmaps directly in the folder that contains your project file. Only if the program can not find the picture there, it searches under the paths defined in the Bitmap Paths dialog.
|
|
|
| On this page you are asked for the JPEG compression rate used to compress pictures when saving them in JPEG format. Small values will yield higher picture quality but also a larger file size for the picture. High values will produce
|
| smaller files, but might introduce ugly artifacts in the rendered picture due to
|
| the lossy JPEG compression algorithm.
