Add materials to objects in your drawings to provide a realistic effect in any rendered view.
Autodesk provides a large library of predefined materials for you to use. Use the Materials Browser to browse materials and apply them to objects in your drawing. Use the Materials Editor to create and modify materials.
Textures add complexity and realism to a material. For example, to replicate the bumps in a paved road, you could apply a Noise texture to an object representing a road in a drawing. To replicate a brick and mortar pattern, you could use a Tile texture. Use the Texture Editor to define a texture’s appearance and how it is applied to an object.
