MatCap

With the right Matcap texture, you can get very realistic-looking materials

Author: Daniel Brauer

Description

MatCap (Material Capture) shader, for displaying objects with reflective materials with uniform surface colouring, like Zbrush or Mudbox can. It uses an image of a sphere as a view-space environment map. It's very cheap, and looks great when the camera doesn't rotate.

Usage

Use a regular normal map for your object, and a render or a photo of a sphere for the MatCap.
