MATERIAL PLAYGROUND
I built the Image to PBR Converter below to make 3D texturing easy and fun to understand for anyone.
Instead of giving a heavy technical explanation, I wanted to create an interactive toy. You can experiment with flat images and watch them instantly transform into the various rendering layers used in the industry.
It is a playful way to learn exactly how virtual materials are constructed. Feel free to drop an image in and play around with your own materials.
