Adding Materials to Your Scene

To add some color to your scene, add two new materials. This is a very basic setup that you should be able to accomplish easily in both Cycles and Blender Render.

1. Select the monkey head.

2. Click the Materials tab in the Properties Editor.

3. Add a new basic material and set the diffuse color to red.

4. Repeat the process with the floor, but set the material to white.
