Matcap can be used as a material texture. I will teach you the technique, in this quick tutorial.
Hello there.
Metapixelatron here.
Today, I am going to teach you how to apply any matcap texture on a material, so you can use them with any individual object.
For this, I will need the matcap texture.
Once you have the matcap texture, it's time to apply it to the selected object.
I will show you how.
Go to the material tab and create a new material for the object.
Now, go to the texture tab and create a new material texture.
Click open, and select your matcap texture.
After the texture is applied, we need to set it up so it is shaded like a matcap.
Set it's coordinates to normal.
But wait, there's more.
Back in the material tab, set the material as shadeless, so it will no longer generate shadows, reflections and such fluff.
Anyway, that was it for today's quick tutorial.
