What Are PBR Textures?

Physically Based Rendering (PBR) is a rendering approach that seeks to render images in a way that more accurately models the flow of light in the real world. PBR textures help simulate how surfaces interact with light, making them appear more realistic across different lighting conditions.

A standard PBR texture pack typically includes several maps:

1. Albedo (Base Color): The color of the surface without any lighting or shadow.
2. Normal Map: Simulates small surface details like bumps and dents without adding geometry.
3. Roughness Map: Determines how shiny or matte a surface is.
4. Metallic Map: Defines which parts of the surface are metal.
5. Ambient Occlusion (AO): Simulates how light is blocked in crevices and corners.
6. Height Map (optional): Adds depth information for more realistic displacement.
