	Click on '''New''' to create a new material. Name your material MetalBall and click on the '''Textures''' tab. This allows you to apply a texture that has been previously imported from a .tga file. All textures in the C4 Game Engine have the form of .tex. In this case we will be using textures given with the C4 engine as a Demo. Click on '''Choose''' beside Texture map and navigate to '''Data/Demo/texture'''. Choose the texture '''MetalPlate.tex''' and you will see the material is applied to reflect your change. You may also add a bump mapping to make the texture more realistic. To do this click '''Choose''' on the Normal map and navigate to the '''MetalPlateBump.tex''' as before. Make sure the boxes beside each texture path is checked to ensure they are applied. You will see a screen similar to the one below.		Click on '''New''' to create a new material.

	Click close to close the Material Manager window. You will see the active material is the MetalBall that we just created. To apply this material to an object in the world select the sphere either in a viewport or the scene graph and click '''Geometry > Set Material''' or simply press Ctrl-M. Your material is now set to the sphere! You may use a single material for many objects in your scene. Try applying additional materials to other objects in your scene. Make sure to create a '''New''' material each time so to not change textures that are already being used. When you are finished click '''World > Save and Play World''' to view your creation. It should look something similar to the following with your chosen textures.		Click close to close the Material Manager window. You will see the active material is the MetalBall that we just created.
