As the VRay material is capable of reproducing all sorts of surface…properties and material types for us, we thought it would be a good idea to…start working with the basics really by focusing on creating initially just…the Diffuse Color properties for one of the pieces of geometry found in our…Walled_Garden_Start scene file.…Here, as you can see, we have a number of straightforward objects that have been…assigned material types that are extremely common and found a lot in the world…around us. So we have cloth, reflective metals--both mirror-like and blurry--…plastic. We have clear and colored glass.…
And we will also be showing you a cool little trick using a couple of V-Ray…materials and the very useful V-Ray Two- Sided Material, and we are going to be…using those to create a translucent effect on our tablecloth objects, as well…of course as assigning its diffuse color properties.…So inside the Max UI, let's go up to the Main toolbar. Let's open up the…Material Editor for ourselves.…Now I am working in the Compact version of the Material Editor.…
