material



By Vangie Beal

A texture applied to an object which will display a realistic look when rendered. For example, applying a grainy wood material to a tree trunk and a green grassy or leafy material to the tree top will make a realistic tree when rendered in 3D. The material is what add the realism to the 3D object.
