Organization of the palettes

The different channels and their functions: diffusion, dirt, reflection, refraction, opacity
Advanced properties: materials option, maps, constraints
Preview (floor, wall, generic, etc.)
Quick settings

Practical workshop: modification of the settings on a base texture. Application of this texture on different objects. Settings changes and previews. Creation of typical textures: plastic, glass, various materials

Advantages and constraints of non-procedural mode (image file-based)
Search for image texture files online or from the sketchup library Image
type analysis (image allowing repetition)
Image application in the different channels

Practical workshop: texture creation with non-procedural mode, configuration of the various settings. saving of created textures and previews.

Using the vray library
Choosing a material according to the desired texture
Adding properties to the material
Mixing textures
Adjusting and testing properties

Practical workshop: creation of complex textures mixing bumps, reflections, shine, refraction, transparency, etc …
