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.
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.
