Instead, we can link a material to several objects.
Another method, giving a brushed look to the material: In under material buttons, in the material tab, change the diffuse color (Col) sliders to as follows: R: 0.572 G: 0.579 B: 0.598 Click the Spe button (just below the Col button) to change the specularity to as follows: R: 1.0 G: 1.0 B: 0.984 Materials and textures are what makes a model look more realistic and appealing. Here is how to make them in Blender, a free, open-source 3D modelling program. For this tutorial, a relatively complex model will be used, but you can do this...
