Applying a shader to a model

Apply various types of shaders directly to models to obtain different effects.

To apply a shader to a model:

1. In the Resources window, click the Asset browser tab.
2. In the Asset browser, expand the Shading Elements folder and click the Shaders folder.

   The Asset browser displays by default a thumbnail view of the shaders.
