Shading Network
Shading Network is a way to connect different nodes in 3D software to control how a surface looks, such as its color, shine, or texture. Each node does a simple job, like adding a color or making a surface bumpy, and connecting them lets designers build complex looks without needing to write code. This setup helps artists see changes right away and try out new ideas quickly. Shading networks can be saved and shared, so teams can use the same materials in different projects, making work faster and more consistent.
