Image plugin displays disk stored image files or images stored in SQL databases registered as binary objects.

Supported image formats are BMP, JPEG, PNG, PCX, TGA, TIFF, and GIF.

From the Model window you can access several Image plugin options included in the software:

• Image Size - texture resolution
• Source - Disk File or Database BLOB
• Format - supported image file formats or auto detect
• Picture Folder - folder on disk with image files
• Lock Proportions - On/Off

The source location for images depends on the type of the mapped column. For BLOB columns, picture is extracted directly from the table data. For other column types, the data is converted to a string, which is then used as a complete filename or fragment of filename. Resulting filenames must be located in the Picture Folder. Extension is appended automatically; therefore it is also possible to work with data types like numbers and dates.
