MatCap Material & Standard Material (answered)

Hi, I was searching on internet some article or info that talks about the main difference between ‘MatCap Materials and Standard Materials’ in ZBrush…I couldn’t find nothing. Could you explain me please which is this difference because is a doubt that I have from long time ago. Thank you so much.

Matcaps are based on the spherical image you see. If the image has a specular highlight, that thing is pretty much baked into the material.

The standard materials on the other hand allow you to adjust these properties more. And since the lighting isn’t baked in either, they will respond to changes you might make to lightcap
