Advanced materials
- [Instructor] In addition to the basic materials, a lot of 3D software will have additional materials that can perform specific functions. So, here I have a scene with some of those custom-type materials. Now if I do a render, you'll see that each of these materials have some unique qualities. Now this first one here in the front is kind of a glassy material and this particular material was designed to simulate glass, and so it can do reflections and refractions, and it looks a lot like glass. Now this blue sphere here in the back has a car paint material that can simulate metal flake as well as reflection and multiple layers of paint. And this makes it very easy to create these sorts of effects. Over here on the right, we have a shader which simulates skin, so if you're working with characters you may want to use something like this. In addition to this, we can also create custom materials. Now, each software's going to…
