Presets Rollout (Physical Material)

The Presets rollout provides access to Physical Material presets to quickly create different types of materials such as glazed ceramic, old copper or candle wax.

You can also use a preset (template) as a starting point for generating a customized material. Choose a template from the drop-down list and a description with general instructions appears in the right pane.
