Apply a material and render the scene

The spheres are currently a uniform gray color, which is the default material for Bryce® 5 objects. You will apply a marbled material to the spheres to make them look as though they are made of marble, and then you will render the scene to see what it looks like. When you render the scene, you will see only a single sphere, as the smaller sphere is wholly contained within the original sphere.

1. With the spheres selected, click the triangle icon next to the Edit text button. The Material Presets Library appears.
2. From the list of categories, click the Rocks & Stones category.
3. Click the Marble, Black on White material thumbnail.
4. Click the OK icon.
5. Click the Render button to begin rendering the scene.
6. Once Bryce has finished rendering the scene, if you have enabled the render report option, the Render Report dialog appears. Click the OK icon.
