Step  3  In the Shader Editor, locate the Principled BSDF node.





















                 USING THE NODE CONTEXT MENU
                 Right-click  on the connection
                 between  two nodes  to  access  a
                 menu with useful options:

                     Add: Inserts  a new node
                 between two connected nodes.

                     Paste: Places  a copied  node
                 between two nodes.

                     Find Nodes: Opens a  search
                 box to locate a specific node.

                     Cut Links: Removes a connection between nodes.
                     Mute Links: Temporarily disables a connection without deleting it.

                 Understanding a Node

                 Each node in Blender has four main parts:
                     Title: The name of the node, shown at the top.

                     Inputs: Found on the left side, these receive data to control the
                 node’s function.

                     Outputs: Found on the right side, these send processed data
                 to other nodes.

                     Properties: Adjustable settings in the Node Properties panel,
                     controlling how the node behaves.



                           SHADING


                 Shading in Blender refers to the process of creating and applying materials to 3D objects, giving
                 them  realistic or stylised appearances.  Blender’s  shading system  is based  on a node-based
