| Note | To learn more about the different views, see the Introducing Adobe Atmosphere ReferencePoint. |
The Browser view shows the world, as it would appear to end-users when they view it on the Web. You can add and edit colors, textures, or lighting in your world only in the Browser view.
Every object in a world consists of faces, which represent the number of sides that an object has in a 3-D environment. For example, a box object has six faces. In objects such as cones or columns, you can specify the number of faces.
| Note | To learn more about how to create cones and columns with a specified number of faces, see the Working with Objects ReferencePoint. |
When you apply colors and textures to objects, you have the option to either apply the color or texture to the entire object or to only one face of the object. Figure...
