All scanned materials are listed in the C4D's Project Asset Inspector, like any other materials in the scene project.
File info – Displays some useful information contained in the .vrscan file, such as the actual material sample size.
Tiling scale – This sets the number of repetitions (tilings) for the material.
2-Sided – Forces the back-facing polygons to be shaded in the same way as the front-facing ones. When disabled, the back-facing polygons appear black. This can be useful for objects like curtains. Note that this option is always considered enabled when rendering transparent materials.
Disable transparency – Disables transparency for materials that store such information. This can be useful for speeding up the rendering, especially when the transparency produces little or no effect.
Triplanar mapping – Enables the triplanar mapping for the scanned material.
Random offset – Enables the random offset for the scanned material.
Random rotation – Enables the random rotation for the scanned material.
