Summary

In this chapter, we created basic materials for the truck. We then used the Blender Internal engine to create basic procedural textures. After unwrapping the model, we baked our textures out and used that image to create and test materials in Cycles. As with the previous project, we've just covered the basics of this topic. However, it should provide a good baseline for you to take it further.

Brito

Allan Brito is an architect with a strong background in the use of technology in all phases of project development. His friends used to say that he swapped bricks for pixels. Besides working in the architecture business, he also has more than 10 years of experience as a college teacher, helping students to create animations, 3D games, and mobile apps. In the academic field, he was in charge of the e-learning department of one of the largest colleges in Brazil for almost eight years, using technologies such as interactive 3D content, games, and virtual reality as learning tools. Blender is one of the essential tools in his workflow, and he has used it every day since the days of version 2.35 in 2005.
