Adjust and Add Materials

Adjust and Add Materials


MAKAR Editor provides the functionality to adjust material properties for 3D objects. You can refine details such as smoothness, color, and shadows according to the material properties inherent to the object. Additionally, you can upload your own textures or use the default materials provided, making your 3D objects more vivid and rich. Below is an explanation of how to adjust and add material properties and their various parameters.



Adjust Material Properties


1. When you click a 3D object, the material properties panel appears on the right, showing all the materials applied to the object. By moving the cursor, you can identify which part of the object each material affects.
 



2. Click "Material Resource" to open the adjustment window.
 



3. In the scene, there are currently three 3D objects: Macaron, Square, and Heart. This section will display each 3D object's material properties. Move the cursor back and forth between the 3D objects in the scene and the material properties panel on the right to confirm the material positions.
 



4. Since you cannot directly adjust the material properties of the object itself, you need to copy the material first. Select one of the materials and click "替代文字" ‭→ "Duplicate Material Sphere" to successfully copy it. You can then adjust various parameters in this panel.。
