- [Instructor] Let's take a look at the mesh Lambert material. I will update to get material function, to provide me with the Lambert material. By passing the string Lambert in "get material" function, I will be activating the switch to return me the Lambert material that is being defined here. I will also update the surface color for the plane, and the sphere as well, so here, I will make the surface colors to be white, actually, so I will change it to 255 for the zero values. Let's check out our scene. Now, as you can see, the surfaces are updated. Mesh Lambert material can be a suitable material to simulate nice, shiny surfaces, such as rubber, clay, or stone.
