ABSTRACT
Y ou’ve already been working with the Materials Manager and Material Editor and have some idea of the process that visually describes surfaces in 3D. In the broader 3D world, these surfaces are often referred to as textures, but CINEMA 4D uses the term material. A single material represented by a thumbnail in the Material Manager will usually be the culmination of several properties that combine to create a unique look for a surface. Each property in the visual mix can be edited on a separate parameter page.
