Materials

Materials are the foundation of realistic 3D scenes. This category should explain how surfaces work, how maps such as albedo, roughness, normal and displacement change the result, and how LotPixel materials can be used across Blender, 3ds Max, games, VFX and architectural visualization without turning the page into a generic texture list.
