Realistic materials make for better game worlds. Learn how to craft materials like wood, bronze, and glass, and then light your scene inside the Unity 3D game engine. Author Adam Crespi starts out with simple materials and gradually introduces more complex shaders: diffuse surfaces like plaster, as well as metal and reflections. Then you'll delve into the magic of bringing a level to life with lighting, including point, spot, and directional lights. Finally, explore light baking with the Beast lightmapping engine.
Topics include:

Creating and editing a diffuse material
Bringing out shine with specular materials
Building reflective materials
Creating a custom shader
Lighting you scene
Fine-tuning hard and soft shadows
