PBR Materials new in Rhino WIP

#1

New in Rhino WIP is support for industry standard Physically based rendering (PBR) materials. PBR is becoming a standard material format across many platforms.

PBR materials tend to give very realistic representations of complex materials by layer multiple textures on various properties in a material.

We are very excited to release the new PBR materials in both the:

Great! works for raytraced/cycles only or also in rhino renderer?

Hi Anika - In Rhino 7 (i.e. the current WIP), the renderer uses the same engine as what the Raytraced display mode uses.

Really excited about this. Tried it once, and worked great. Seemed I needed to manually specify the files for each slot, even tho the Rhino 7 info says Rhino can try to import a folder of materials and auto-place them in the slots.

How do I get it to do this?

Hi Alan - the naming of the files needs to be right for that to work.
Can you provide the source of the materials that you are using and a list of the file names?

They’re in a folder, because as I’m learning, I need to also download each slot-image individually, too. Got this from CC0textures.com but also did some from Textures.com

Also wondering what filetypes work as “Material Library” since they’re cut-off when I try to see the drop-down options in the file explorer window that pops up when I try to open one.
