Textures

Parameter	Details
Colour Texture	Defines the base color of the material’s surface. It represents the surface color under neutral, uniform lighting.
Diffuse Map	Specifies the color of light that scatters off the surface in all directions. It is functionally similar to the Colour Texture and is a core component of a material’s appearance.
Specular Map	Controls the color and intensity of shiny reflections (specular highlights). Brighter areas on the map indicate a more reflective and shinier surface.
Emissiveness Map	Determines which parts of a material appear to glow or emit their own light. Brighter values cause the surface to act as a light source.
Metallicness Map	A grayscale map to define how ‘metal-like’ a surface is. White values represent pure metal, while black values represent non-metals.
Roughness Map	A grayscale map that controls the roughness of the surface. Black represents a smooth, mirror-like surface with sharp reflections, while white represents a rough surface with blurry, diffuse reflections.
Normal Map	Adds surface detail like bumps and scratches without adding more polygons to the model. It simulates how light would interact with a more complex surface, creating the illusion of depth.
Displacement Map	Physically displaces the vertices of the model’s geometry based on the map’s values. Unlike a Normal Map, this creates real geometric detail that affects the model’s silhouette.
Alpha Map	A grayscale map that controls the transparency of the material. Black areas are fully transparent, white areas are fully opaque, and gray values create semi-transparency.
Ambient Occlusion Map	Adds subtle, soft shadows to areas that are occluded from ambient light, such as creases and crevices. This enhances realism and adds perceived depth to the model.
Subsurface Colour Map	Defines the color of light after it has scattered beneath the surface of a translucent material, such as skin, wax, or marble.
Subsurface Weight Map	Controls the intensity of the subsurface scattering effect across the material, defining how much light penetrates and scatters within the surface.
UV Texture Filter Mode	Determines the algorithm used for sampling texture pixels when viewed at different angles and distances. Point : Bilinear : Anisotropic : Bicubic : Oversampling :
Diffuse Map -> AO	A setting to use the Diffuse or Colour map to contribute to the Ambient Occlusion calculation, often darkening areas based on the base color.
Texture Mip Bias	An offset that adjusts which mipmap level is used for a texture. Negative values can sharpen distant textures, while positive values can blur them.
