Embedded Textures Editor

Manage, replace, rename, and fix embedded textures inside models

Introduction

The Embedded Textures Editor provides a focused view of all images embedded inside a drawable’s model. Use it to preview, export, replace, rename, and remove embedded textures. When texture names or assignments change, the editor can auto‑fix related shader parameters where possible.

Open via context menu: Right‑click an appearance item and choose Embedded Textures Editor.

What you can do

• Preview embedded images along with basic metadata (dimensions, format, usage).

• Replace a texture by importing a PNG, JPG or DDS of the same intended purpose.

• Rename or delete embedded textures.

• Auto‑adjusts linked shader parameters when names or usage change.

Recommended texture formats

• Use power‑of‑two dimensions (e.g., 512×512, 1024×1024). See Textures/Power of two.

• Provide proper channel data:

  • Normal maps in tangent space

  • Specular/gloss maps with correct RGB channel usage

Workflow Tips

• After replacing or renaming a texture, verify the material still references the correct slot in the Material Editor.

• Use the 3D preview to validate normals/speculars under different lighting. See 3D Previewing Clothes.

• For overall performance and compatibility, optimize embedded textures where possible. See Optimizing Clothes.
