You will learn:

• rendering theory
• resolution theory
• shaders and texture theory
• the Multi-lister
• the hardware shader
• editing shaders and textures
• assigning shaders

To complete this tutorial, you will be supplied with the model of a personal digital assistant (PDA). We will examine some of the key concepts of rendering, like the Render Globals settings window, resolution, and the powerful interactive form of rendering, Hardware Shading.
