Applying Materials

Applying Materials

Learn the basics of working with materials.

Campfire provides a wide selection of high-quality materials to customize your model. Materials can be applied to specific parts, as well as groups of parts. You have the flexibility to adjust the appearance of a part by tweaking individual parameters for each material. You can also easily apply textures in JPG and PNG formats to a material.

Let’s start with the basics. We’ll first learn how to apply a material to a part, view the properties of the applied material, and then apply the same material to a variety of parts.

Applying a material to a part

  1. In the inspector, select Materials tab
  2. Expand one of the categories to see the materials
  3. Drag a material onto a part to apply it

Applying a material from another part

  1. Select the part with the material you want to apply to others
  2. You’ll now see the material appear in the Look section of the Scene tab
  3. Drag the material from the Look section onto another part
💡
Note: Once you apply a material from another part, the parts share the same material. Any changes to the material will affect all parts.

On PC, Mac, or iPad, you can use copy and paste to apply a material to multiple parts at once.

  1. In the inspector, right-click any material and select Copy Material.
  2. Select one or more parts in the scene or hierarchy. This can include a single part, multiple parts, or a selection set.
  3. Right-click and select Paste Material to apply the copied material to your selection.
