It seems like you're coming to some strange conclusions here based on a variety of sources with incomplete information. I would recommend reading the tutorials we wrote for Marmoset Toolbag 2, which cover general PBR theories as well the differences between the specular and metalness workflows:…
I made PBR texturing tutorial in 3D coat tutorial recently in Youtube and also a written version. http://www.creativewithjaakko.com/2016/09/29/pbr-texturing-in-3d-coat/ Youtube video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrjgZgUuIMA I hope this can be helpful for someone.
Not so sophisticated question but I still want to ask about it. I am adapting to PBR pipeline and I'm not sure what to do with ambient occlusion of metal parts. Until now we multiplied ao with diffusse texture, but with PBR approach we have almost black albedo on metals so there is almost no effect of baked AO. I have my…
Hi all, So I've been wondering about this. If you use Maya, what is the best type of shader to use to apply PBR materials to? I've been using the "mia_material_x" shader to apply my PBR materials. Is this a good shader to be using in Maya, or should I be using a different shader, or does it not matter? Any feedback on this…
Hello all. Up till now I've primarily been a programmer, but now I'm trying to take a leap into the world of 3D modeling. I've been looking a this PBR stuff and it's quite cool. I went ahead and threw together a barrel using Blender, Photoshop CC, and Legacy dDo and I kind of like it. But. The metal looks off to me. My…
Hey polys, I am looking to create a software related to PBR materials. My goal is to generate the standard PBR maps from a diffuse map within my software. Do you know any good tool/repo that offers an api for such tasks? I found this tool which seems like a good solution. Let me know if you have any alternatives. I plan to…

Starting a new project this week! Going to be trying to do a PBR/Overwatch styled Blood Elf Paladin based on the concept below: This is a concept I found online that I belive is directly from Blizzard. I plan to do the entire scene and will try and make it slighlty more realistiic in the sense that her chest armour won't…
Hi guys ! First, if i'm not at good place, i'm sorry :) . Moderator, help me finding the good way :| I spent my entire week-end to read the AMAZING PBR bible compiled by 3PY0N and looking around for some examples. Finally i decided to give myself a try... My knowledge about PBR are still a little bit weak so i decided to…
