The Tex Component plug-in selects which component of a texture is used for the texture mapping process.

Note: This plug-in is a legacy plug-in and the functionality is now incorporated into the Texture Editor.

Tex Component Properties

Use Component: Determines whether to use alpha, color, or both.
- Alpha: Uses only the alpha of the texture. The RGB color of the texture is set to a constant color specified by the Constant Color parameter.
- Color: Uses only the RGB color of the texture. The alpha is set to a constant value specified by the Constant Alpha parameter.
- Alpha+Color: Uses both the alpha and the RGB color of the texture (default setting).
Constant Color: Sets the constant RGB color of the texture when Alpha is selected.
Constant Alpha: Sets the constant alpha value when Color is selected.
