Frabric overlay on furniture models

[WDrago]

All,

If you've ever visited the L.L. Bean website or some of the furniture manufacture websites you may have seen how you can pick a color and frabic and see how it's going to look on a particlular piece of cothing or furniture. Car manufucturers do it too on their websites...you can see what the vehicle is going to look like in any color.

Is there software that does this, or are they just creating tons of images files for each possiblke combination of color and fabric, and then displaying the appropriate image for the visitor's selction?

Thanks,
Bill

Image files, I believe.
