Transforming Textures
Since a 3D texture exists in three-dimensional space, it can be transformed along the X, Y, or Z axis - just like a 3D object. Using the texture Transformation Tools, you can scale, position, or rotate your texture.
The final look of the transformation depends on the mapping mode you use to apply the texture to the object. In some modes, texture transformations may not be very noticeable, while in others, like Parametric, transformations can have a large impact on the look of the material.
You may find it necessary to experiment with different settings to get the results you want. If you find that the texture isn't reacting the way you want it to, try changing the mapping mode.
The transformation tools give you very fine control over the final appearance of the texture.
