MATERIAL SETTINGS

From the style tab, we can adjust material settings, this changes the way light reflects and emits off an object. If you click on the material drop down you will see there are five material settings; solid, plastic, metal, glow, and unlit.
Important

  • Solid objects are shaded based on their angle to light sources.
  • Plastic objects are more reflective, and light reflections depend on the viewer’s angle to the object.
  • Metal objects are darker with a metallic sheen.
  • Both metal and plastic materials have an intensity setting which can be set from 0% to 100%.
  • At 0% intensity, the material will behave more like a solid object and begin to reflect more light as the material intensity increases.

Glow and Unlit Objects

GLOW AND UNLIT OBJECTS

Glowing objects emit colored light on their surroundings. Increasing the glow’s brightness raises the amount of light emitted and whitens the color of the glowing object.
Texture Settings

TEXTURE SETTINGS

Below material settings we have textures that wrap around the object. Different combinations of color, material, and texture can create many unique styles.
Manual Color Settings

MANUAL COLOR SETTINGS

The color slider allows you to easily select your own colors. On the Style tab, click on the drop down menu for the color palette, and then click Manual Color Slider.
