Using materials

Material types define the property type of a material. By adjusting material property values defined by a material type, you set the appearance of a material. Each material type has a vertex shader and a fragment shader, which set the type of properties you can use in a material.

To create a material:

1. If you do not already have a material type for the material you want to create, add a material type to your project. See Using material types.
2. In the Library press Alt and right-clickMaterials and Textures and select Material.
   
3. In the Properties set the Material Types property to the material type you want to use for this material.

• Drag the material from the Assets and drop it on an object in the Preview or Project.

Or

1. In the Project select the object to which you want to assign a material.
