Documentation

This function allows to automatically create PBR materials, from texture maps exported from texturing solutions like Substance (by Adobe).

Here is how it works:

1) Choose the directory containing the texture maps. Supported image formats are: PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF and TGA.

2) Texture maps should be named this way: MaterialName_MapType.extension. The PBR material created will be named MaterialName

3) The types of texture maps supported are the following ones, and they should be written exactly like this:

• Albedo
• Normal
• Metallic
• Roughness
• AO
• Opacity

Example: for a material named "Carbon", the texture files should be written:

• Carbon_Albedo.png
• Carbon_Normal.png
• Carbon_Metallic.png
• Carbon_Roughness.png
• Carbon_AO.png
• Carbon_Opacity.png

Note: Only one texture map file is required for the function to work (for example, only Albedo).
