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.
