Figure 2-83 A simple scene for creating a material capture image
The Material settings I used for the sphere are shown in Figure 2-84 . You can use any settings you like, but
including some mirror reflectivity to reflect the white planes creates a nice effect. I turned the Gloss level down
a little bit on the Mirror panel.
In the Render properties area, set the dimensions of the camera to 512 by 512 . In the Camera properties
area, set the camera to Orthographic mode and adjust the Orthographic scale so that the ball fits snugly into the
square, as shown in Figure 2-85 .
