Color

Any color from a palette of 64 can be applied to a graphic type.  Select a color from the palette to change the graphic type’s color.

Material

In addition to color, materials can also be applied to a graphic type. Materials provide more precise control over an entity's visual properties by defining the behavior of an object's reflected and emitted light.  By adjusting the light properties of a material, entities can be made to look more realistic.  For example, materials can be defined that make an object appear chrome plated, glassy, metallic, and so on.
