Materials and Textures

This section teaches you how to:

• use the nodes in the 3D > Shader menu to control what material your objects seem to be made of. See Object Material Properties.

• merge two Shader nodes together. See Merging Two Shader Nodes.

• merge a material with the objects rendered behind it in the 3D scene. See Merging a Material with the Objects Behind.

• replace selected material channels with a constant color to make one object hold out the others. See Replacing Material Channels with a Constant Color.

• project texture images onto your 3D objects. See Projecting Textures onto Objects.

• import a set of texture patches following the UDIM scheme and apply them to the surface of a 3D object. See Importing UDIM Patches.
