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.
