PBR Material
PBR Material is a type of digital texture used in game design that helps surfaces look real by using information about how light interacts with them. In games, PBR Materials use simple maps like color, roughness, and metalness to tell the game engine how shiny or dull something should look and how it reacts to light from different angles. Designers can use PBR Materials to make things like wood, metal, or stone look more believable in the game world, even if the object itself is flat or low in detail. PBR Materials help keep the look of objects consistent in different lighting, which is important for games that have changing environments or realistic graphics.
