 Move inside the object inspector to the specific material source (inherited from TGorillaDefaultMaterialSource).
-The open the design editor of the "**Bitmaps**" property. Then simply add a new item and input a name for the texture.
-The name will be important to access the texture in your shader.
+__Steps:__
+  * Open the design editor of the "**Bitmaps**" property
+  * Add a new item
+  * Input a name for the texture
+  * Choose where the texture will be available: PixelShader or VertexShader
+__//NOTICE://__ The name will be important to access the texture in your shader!
 Due to Firemonkey implementation, you will access your texture with the **prefix "_"**. So for example, if you name your texture "**MyTexture**", you will
 access it by "**_MyTexture**".
-In the texture item you can configure further properties of your texture.
+When you choose the shader your texture will be available, you can access it also at design time in the corresponding property:
+^ShaderKind^Property^
+|PixelShader|<TGorillaDefaultMaterialSource>.SurfaceShader|
+|VertexShader|<TGorillaDefaultMaterialSource>.VertexShader|
+In the collection item you can configure further properties of your texture and you can of course load the image data itself.
+__//NOTICE//__: Not all of the properties are fully restorable at runtime, because there are some automatisms which can't be overwritten by Gorilla3D. Use the "**ProtectFormatSettings**" property to at least try to protect those properties from implicit modification.
+__//WARNING//__: When adding new texture always add them at the end of the collection, to not intercept default textures.

+^Property^Descr^
+|Bitmap|Image data loadable from BMP, PNG or JPEG|
+|BorderColor|Defines a texture border color.|
+|DataType|Defines the data type of the internal texture format. See OpenGL specification for further information.|
+|Format|Defines the general texture format. See OpenGL specification for further information.|
+|IgnoreInArray|Internally arrays of textures are used for specific topics (shadows), where the name of the texture becomes obsolete.|
+|InternalFormat|Defines the internal texture format. See OpenGL specification for further information.|
+|IsDynamic|The texture will automatically retrieve its image data from a renderpass or other dynamic source. It's not recommended to use this with user specific textures.|
+|MagFilter|Defines the magnification texture filtering in combination with the MinFilter property.|
+|MinFilter|Defines the minification texture filtering in combination with the MagFilter property.|
+|Name|A name for the texture will always be needed! Access the texture in shaders with the prefix "_"|
+|ProtoectFormatSettings|TRUE/FALSE to protect the texture from implicit modification on re-init during runtime.|
+|ShaderKind|Defines where the texture will be available. In PixelShader or VertexShader.|
+|TextureKind|Kind of the texture: 2D, 3D, CubeMap, 2DArray (**recommened: only 2D**)|
+|TilingX|Tiling of the texture on x-axis (2D)|
+|TilingY|Tiling of the texture on y-axis (2D)|
