<p>For a game, you create custom Materials based on these existing MaterialDefintions – as you have just seen in the example with the shiny rock&#8217;s material.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Look at the shiny rocky sphere above again. It takes several lines to create and set the Material.</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Note how it loads the <code>Lighting.j3md</code> Material definition.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Note how it sets the <code>DiffuseMap</code> and <code>NormalMap</code> to a texture path.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Note how it activates <code>UseMaterialColors</code> and sets <code>Specular</code> and <code>Diffuse</code> to 4 float values (RGBA color).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Note how it sets <code>Shininess</code> to 64.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you want to use one custom material for several models, you can store it in a .j3m file, and save a few lines of code every time.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You create a j3m file as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>Create a plain text file <code>assets/Materials/MyCustomMaterial.j3m</code> in your project directory, with the following content:</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code>Material My shiny custom material : Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.j3md {
     MaterialParameters {
        DiffuseMap : Textures/Terrain/Pond/Pond.jpg
        NormalMap : Textures/Terrain/Pond/Pond_normal.png
        UseMaterialColors : true
        Specular : 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
        Diffuse : 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
        Shininess : 64.0
     }
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Note that <code>Material</code> is a fixed keyword.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Note that <code>My shiny custom material</code> is a String that you can choose to describe the material.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Note how the code sets all the same properties as before!</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the code sample, comment out the eight lines that have <code>sphereMat</code> in them.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Below this line, add the following line:</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java">sphereGeo.setMaterial((Material) assetManager.loadMaterial(
    "Materials/MyCustomMaterial.j3m"));</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Run the app. The result is the same.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using this new custom material <code>MyCustomMaterial.j3m</code> only takes one line. You have replaced the eight lines of an on-the-fly material definition with one line that loads a custom material from a file. Using .j3m files is very handy if you use the same material often.</p>

<p>You have learned how to create a Material, specify its properties, and use it on a Geometry. You know how to load an image file (.png, .jpg) as texture into a material. You know to save texture files in a subfolder of your project&#8217;s <code>assets/Textures/</code> directory.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You have also learned that a material can be stored in a .j3m file. The file references a built-in MaterialDefinition and specifies values for properties of that MaterialDefinition. You know to save your custom .j3m files in your project&#8217;s <code>assets/Materials/</code> directory.</p>
