Shader Tree Item Layers
Home >> Shade, Light & Render >> Shader Tree Items
Every new scene in MODO, by default, provides a few basic shader tree layers to get users started. The 'Material' Item "
" created when users assign a material tag is sufficient for many surfacing tasks, however, for reproducing more complex surfaces, additional shader items will eventually need to be added, such as applying a bitmap image to produce the label on a can of soda.
The following items may be added to any scene from within the shader tree viewport, by LMB-clicking the 'Add Layer' option of the full viewport window and selecting an item from the pop-up context menu. For information regarding adding and otherwise working with Shader Tree Items Layers, please reference the Shader Tree page of the documentation.
