Textures and Materials

Use textures and materials to define how the surface of objects look in your effects.

Textures define detail, texture and color. Materials control how a texture is used - for example, how reflective or opaque a texture is.

You can also use the Patch Editor to create more complex effects with visual shaders, and create 2D animated effects using texture sequences and particle systems.

Learn about:

• Materials and Shaders - using built-in shaders and materials.
• Using Textures - applying textures to materials.
• Environment Textures and the Environment Light - using image-based lighting to create realistic lighting effects.
• Extracting the Camera Texture - using the video taken by the camera as a texture in your scene.
• Extracting the Face Tracker Texture - and using it as a texture in your scene.
