Materials

• Work with the materials editor and change basic parameters like diffuse and ambient colour, and specular controls.
• Describe the effects gained from different shaders eg. anisotropic, phong and which are appropriate to animating.
• Create and use a range of materials, including metals, glass and wood and add them to the simple room scene generated earlier.
• Create and use basic maps.
• Effectively add UVW mapping to a model and align texture maps.
• Create and use a Bump map and other map attributes.
• Animate materials for special effects.
• Create an animated ‘space scene’.
