In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Maya help says:
Material - In rendering, a description of what an object looks like when it is rendered.
Also known as shader.
Shader - The specification of properties and lighting for a surface.
See material.

So, with that in mind, the entire connected nodes in the Hypershade (materials, textures, utilities, etc) that creates an effect I define as a Shader or Shading Group.
The material nodes (Lambert, Blinn, etc) are what I refer to as materials.
That's just me, though. But it works to keep it straight in my head when I explain it to others.
