I’ll explain the difference between shading, textures, and materials, show you how to use the Shader Editor and Material Properties, and go through important settings like Base Color, Metallic, Roughness, IOR, Alpha, and Normal.
In the end, we’ll also create some example materials such as chalk, plastic, gold, chrome, and aluminum.
