Materials Tab

Like the LightsEffects and Rendering tabs, the materials tab is divided into two panes. The left-hand pane describes the pre-defined archives of materials that are installed and the right-hand pane shows the current palette of materials that have been defined and are being used in the scene. The palette also shows a small thumbnail of the material as it will appear when rendered.

The following sections will describe how to manage and edit materials for application onto items in the scene.
