Layer Menu

图层菜单

Initially a texture has just one layer: the background layer. Think of the background layer as your canvas. Just like a real canvas, you can paint on the background layer and, just like a real canvas, it can be difficult to remove unwanted effects that you painted some time ago. The solution to this problem is to use layers. Layers are like sheets of acetate stacked above the background — you can paint on each layer and where there is no paint on a layer, the layer below shows through. By painting an effect on a layer other than the background, the effect remains independent and you can remove it at any time simply deleting the layer.

一个纹理最初只有一个层: 背景层。把背景图层想象成你的画布。就像真正的画布一样，你可以在背景图层上作画，就像真正的画布一样，很难去除你之前画过的不想要的效果。这个问题的解决方案是使用层。图层就像是堆叠在背景之上的醋酸盐薄片ーー你可以在每一层上作画，如果一个图层上没有油漆，那么下面的图层就会显示出来。通过在背景以外的图层上绘制一个效果，这个效果保持独立，你可以在任何时候删除这个图层。

You can also select, transform and paint the layer independently of the background and other layers. In addition, each layer has a Blending Mode and Strength setting, which makes it much easier for you to create and adjust effects compared with a single layer.

你也可以选择，转换和绘制图层独立于背景和其他图层。另外，每个图层都有一个混合模式和强度设置，这使得创建和调整效果比单一图层要容易得多。

Most of the commands on the Layer menu affect the active layer only (this is the layer with a frame in the Material Manager).

图层菜单上的大多数命令只影响活动图层(这是材质管理器中有一个框架的图层)。
