I'm very new to Blender, and I've been watching the Blender Guru tutorials. I've gotten to the materials episode, and the person in the video has a dropdown menu to change the texture from Diffuse to Glossy or any number of others. I can't seem to find a way to change from Diffuse, and I'm very confused.

I'm in Blender 2.79 if that helps, thanks.

  • Would you mind providing a link of the video you were watching so I can get an idea of what they were doing. Also a timestamp of at what point they did this action? – nathan rivera Mar 30 '19 at 01:17
  • Can you even see Diffuse? – Yash Mar 30 '19 at 07:01
  • The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Gb1VK98Wc The timestamp is 14:50 where he selects the dropdown menu for Surface and can change it from Diffuse, Glossy, etc etc.

    Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing: https://imgur.com/a/BxLnh4j As you can see, under the Preview dropdown, I have a Diffuse dropdown but not a Surface dropdown as shown in the video. Again, I am in 2.79. @nathanrivera @Yash

    Maybe you need to switch from Blender Render to Cycles Render – moonboots Mar 30 '19 at 10:03
