Thanks you for the suggestion. We do have in the "Material" section: metal, gold, chrome, plastic, wood. Same disparity in OOo 3.3. Regina, what's your opinion on this? Is there potential for extending choices, or making choices more uniform between the two kinds of objects? The dialog which you get when using "Toggle extrusion" is a simplified subset of what is possible in 3D-Scenes. I agree, that the "3D effects" dialog can be improved. The "Favorites" drop-down should not be in section "Material" but outside, because selecting a predefined Favorite does not only change "Material" but "Specular" too. And we could add some more Favorites or exchange existing ones with more popular ones. A "wire frame" is not a "Material" but a "Shading" mode. Possible values of the shading mode are "draft" (=wire frame), "flat", "phong" and "gourand" in ODF. But "draft" is not implemented for 3D-Scenes. Instead you can set a line style other than "none" and set the area fill to "none". The dialog from "Toggle extrusion" has no choice between "phong", "gourand" and "flat", although the rendering engine would support it. 3D-Scenes and extruded custom-shapes are total different object types. However, they use the same rendering engine. I would not set as goal to make the dialogs equal, but each of both dialogs could be improved. And we need to consider 3D charts in addition. |
