 D objects can be added to the project to be displayed in the scene. These objects can be added, selected and deleted through the 3D view. The 3D objects includes:
   * 3D geometry objects: Spheres, cones and other primitives, curves and various kinds of NURBS surfaces, heightfields. See the list of 3D object [[:01_user_documentation:05_object:01_geometric:02_3d|here]]
-  * Lights related objects: Light sources, shaders, etc. The list can be found [[:01_user_documentation:05_object:02_light| here]].
+  * Lights objects: The list can be found [[:01_user_documentation:05_object:02_light|here]].
+  * Materials: they can be assigned to objects to produce a variety of shading effects in visualization. Materials are defined using a _shading network_: This establishes a data flow through the nodes of the network which finally leads to the visible material properties like colour and opacity. Several kinds of nodes are available: Image maps, procedural maps, transformations. You can freely mix them in the shading network, which gives you great flexibility in defining materials. The list can be found [[:01_user_documentation:05_object:02_light|here]].
