2014f Day 7

A material is the top-level "folder" that holds your shader and textures.
Create a material using Assets > Create > Material.

It's a three-step process to use a material in Unity:

1. In the Project pane, choose a material and drop it onto your mesh.
   
2. In the Inspector pane, choose a shader for your material from the drop-down menu.
   
3. Finally, drop textures/maps onto the shader's drop zones.
