A PBR material is usually a set of unique maps for the diffuse, specular, ambient occlusion, normals, and […]
The recent updates in Blender and all future developments make an excellent collection of textures critical to any digital artist using Blender. For architectural visualization, the relevance of textures is also important. Blender has now a shader called Principled BSDF that works great with textures prepared for PBR. What is PBR? It means Physically based […]
