Chapter 25. Presenter Materials
25.1. Materials Tab
Like the Lights, Effects and Rendering tabs, the materials tab is divided into two panes. The left-hand
pane describes the pre-defined archives of materials that are installed and the right-hand pane shows the
current palette of materials that have been defined and are being used in the scene. The palette also
shows a small thumbnail of the material as it will appear when rendered.
The following sections will describe how to manage and edit materials for application onto items in the
scene.
25.2. Applying Presenter Materials
Materials can be applied to items in the scene by dragging-and-dropping the material onto:
• an item in the scene;
• an item in the selection tree;
• a selection set.
