• Shaders are what bring your models to life when adding a lights to your scene. A shader is responsible for many of the visual qualities of a texture. They are what make something look glossy, transparent, or hard and gritty.
• To truly master realistic 3D rendering, you must understand both texturing and shading independently as well as how they work together to produce a realistic result. Nikola steps you through how to set these shaders up for traditional models and for procedural models to give them more variation and increase realism!
