    Regarding materials

    aroragaurav

    Hi,

    This issue I am having with materials seems quite baffling to me. I modeled a kitchen. I am not sure if UV maps are to be created for the same or not. Also, when I picked up certain materials online, they looked very very different in the cycles render from their look in the viewport. Really stuck here.

    Thanks,

    Gaurav

      I do not understand your question regarding the UV's, but if you are comparing materials in Preview Mode with Cycles render, then yes, those look different because: 1. Preview Mode uses Eevee,

      but more important:                              2. Preview Mode uses a HDRI for lighting and a render (Cycles or Eevee) uses your scene lights and your World (Environment) for lighting and light changes the way materials look (in real life and in CG).

      You can also change the lighting in Preview Mode. Look here: https://cgcookie.com/questions/11936-world-texture-not-appearing#answer-39692
