Materials and Textures in
3D Max
Materials
1 Create realistic surfaces by assigning materials with properties
like color, reflectivity, and roughness.

Textures
2 Apply images or patterns to surfaces for detailed designs, such
as paint jobs, logos, and decals.

Material Library
3 Use a built-in library of pre-made materials for quick and easy
application.
Lighting and Rendering in
3D Max
1 Lighting
Use different types of lights to create atmosphere, shadows,
and highlights for realism.

2 Rendering
Convert the 3D model into a 2D image using various render
engines for photorealistic results.

3 Post-Processing
Enhance the rendered image using tools like Photoshop for
final adjustments and effects.
