Materials

Materials in Thea for Rhino can be created in the same way you create Rhino materials.

Important: To be able to see the new Thea Material option, Thea Render needs to be the active render engine.

From the top menu select: Render > Current Renderer > Thea Render
There are two ways to add a new Thea Material in the material list:

  1. Click on the + icon in the material panel and select Thea Material from the list.
  2. Click on the Thea Content Browser icon, select a material and either click on the Add button or double‐click on it to add it in the material list. More details on content browser on section 8.2.

Editing Thea Materials

Thea for Rhino offers two ways to edit Thea Materiels. You can either use Material Presets as a starting point or use the Advanced Material editor to have complete control over the material parameters and make use of the advanced layering system that Thea makes use of.
