How do I change how my 3D model is displayed in Storyboard Pro?

In Storyboard Pro, you cannot change the physical surface or texture of a 3D model, however you can change what the model looks like while you are working with it. This article will show you how.

Step 1: Access the 3D effects

1. In the Stage or Camera view, find the layer of your 3D model and select it.
2. Right click on the layer and go to the 3D Effects menu. We are going to focus on the section in the lower half.

3. Simply select one of these display modes to change the appearance of the model. See below for more information.

Types of 3D display modes

Below is a summary of what the different modes look like when applied.

Shaded The default mode. Depending on the model, it will appear as a shaded object with applied colours, or with placeholder textures.
Flat Removes any textures or colours and displays the model as a shaded grey model.
Washed Looks like the Shaded mode, but has a washed-out effect to reduce details, like a light table effect.
Wireframe Models are displayed with only their wireframe.
Wireframe on Shaded The Shaded display mode with a wireframe.
Wireframe on Flat The Flat display mode with a wireframe.
