By copying
and pasting the surface from Ball_2, you??™ve saved yourself a lot of work and
helped keep the surface values consistent. Note that you do not have to right-click
and copy the surfaces each time you want to paste them. Copy once, paste many!
Just remember that if you accidentally copy something else, you need to go back
and copy the desired surface again. Figure 3.40 shows the render with the new
surfaces applied, using a different color and different reflection image.
Figure 3.40 You can paste the metallic surface to other surfaces to quickly copy settings.
Figure 3.38
Right-clicking on a
surface name in the
surface list enables
you to quickly copy
all its settings.
Figure 3.39
Right-clicking on a
surface name in the
surface list enables you
to quickly paste what
you??™ve just copied.
Note
From this point, you can work with any other object surfaces you like, and apply similar
metals, glass, or your own combination of both. You can even select all but the glass surface
and change the basic gray color to a yellow-orange. Render again, and you??™ve now
made gold. All the other surface settings still apply.
