MatCap (Material Capture)  is one of the simplest materials. Along with the color, it also shows lighting and reflections.

This material is often used in game development when it is needed to minimize the resources spent. For example, MatCap is widely used in mobile games.

There are special MatCap textures for MatCap materials.
