Lights, cameras, and materials add depth and realism (or surrealism) to a scene.

Lights and Cameras Lights and cameras simulate their real-world counterparts. Lights can be artificial, or they can be physically accurate, including sunshine. Cameras frame the scene, providing a controllable point of view. You can animate camera movement, and simulate real-world effects such as depth-of-field. Material Editor, Materials, and Maps Materials control how an object looks: dull or shiny, red or blue, and so on. Maps add effects to materials, simulating textures, applied designs, reflections, and other properties.
