Texturing Video

From the video, I learned about the hypershade panel and how to effectively use the different tools to create various designs. The hypershade panel has a work space which allows me to create and add the various colors and textures to the object. There are multiple ways to do this, but for me, the simplest way to add color and texture was to middle click on the mouse and drag my node to the object. The video also taught me how to add simple materials to the sphere such as the checkerboard pattern with the red squares. I also learned how to blend colors by using the blend tool along with the color ramp and the checkerboard pattern. Lastly, I was able to add texture and make the sphere seem more realistic.
