Re: PBR Question ?
In the metalness workflow, diffuse + specular = albedo map (which defines the color regardless of material type). The metalness map itself defines which areas are metallic and which areas are not (generally pure black or white values in the map). The last thing you said is pretty much correct. Pure metals reflect nearly… -
Re: PBR Question ?
Its mostly about memory savings, yes. The metalness workflow isn't more accurate or anything like that. Though some feel there is a benefit or simplification in the workflow when you author the diffuse and specular content in the same map. If your texture is all metals or all insulators, you don't need to use a metalness… -
Re: PBR Question ?
"Get rid" is the wrong way to think about it. Specular reflection intensity is the same thing as reflectivity, both define the amount of light an object reflects. Even with the metalness workflow we dont "get rid of specularity", its simply defined in a different way (for metals, in the albedo map, for non-metals, at a…
