True shading editor for NX7.5

True shading editor for NX7.5

Hi,

Is there a solution to add in the list of background image, in the "True Shading Editor" in NX 7.5, other images?
Thanks,

RE: True shading editor for NX7.5

The best that you can do is to go to where the background images are stored and replace the 6 'background_image' files with ones which have the same names.  For example, in the location where NX is installed there is a folder named 'UGPHOTO' and inside it is a folder named 'true_shading'.  In there you will find, among other things, 6 files names 'background_image_X.jpg' where the 'X' is 1 thru 6.  What you can do is create a new .jpg image using the same number of pixals (width and length) and giving it one of these names and that image should then became available from the True Shading dialog/toolbar.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
