Use materials and textures

A material defines the color, finish, transparency, texture, and bump for use by the Rhino renderer.

Note

• Materials can be dragged and dropped onto Material, Texture, and Environment controls.
• Colors and textures can be dragged from the color swatch and dropped onto any other color swatch or control in the Materials panel, Textures panel, or Environments panel.
