How to Edit Materials in Wings 3D
3D models have many uses in film, print and video games. The meshes for these models have to be created in 3D modeling applications. In addition to the meshes, it is necessary to assign materials to a mesh before it can be rendered. Different sections of the same mesh might have different materials. If you are working in Wings 3D and want to assign and edit materials, the process is quite simple.
