changes.

T
he model exterior is now ready to be rendered. In this example (Fig. 35.1 through Fig. 39.35), 
Shaderlight is used for the rendering process. The texture and lighting values are set in 
Shaderlight. The various options and settings are reviewed in Part 5 and Part 6.

The Shaderlight Material menu is opened from the Shaderlight main menu. The Shaderlight Material 
menu will be used to provide rendering values to the model textures. The SketchUp Paint Bucket is opened, 
and the SketchUp Paint Bucket Eye Dropper is used to select the materials in the model.
