High Quality PBR Materials in Unity HDRP

[@Hliouxas]

I was looking for mask textures for over two months. You are life saving with your videos. After Brakeys departure you are the #1 channel for Unity tips and tricks. Awesome job!!! And a big thank you 💕!!!

[@UGuruz]

Great to hear! Thanks

[@MathiasNielsen212]

If you don't have Photoshop and want to make a mask map in HDRP, you can change the material to Standard. Then the material becomes all pink. Then assign all the texture slots on the material (Albedo, Normal, Metallic, AO & height map). Then select the material and go to Edit -> Render Pipeline -> Upgrade Selected Materials to High Definition Material. Then it will automatically generate a mask map and upgrade the material.

[@UGuruz]

It's a good trick but doesn't work properly because in Standard Shader there is no slot to assign your smoothness map which is most important for pbr material. You will still have to copy the smoothness map into the alpha channel of metallic map in order to use this workflow.

[@MathiasNielsen212]

@@UGuruz Yes. It was just a small workaround if you don't have Photoshop.

[@Tymon0000]

Just use GIMP it's free.

[@david3atista]

Or if you have substance painter you can import it and paint a square plane with it, then export to unity HDRP

please sir do videos on skybox and dynamic sky shaders

[@challengedollar2880]

This video needs an update in 2024, will you do anytime soon or is the workflow same tiring photoshop one?

Thanks for the helpful movies. I have a question. Can you make a river with flowing water?

[@oozly9291]

My material looks different from yours? Mine only says “standard” while yours says HDRP/Lit

[@CG_CAKE]

but there is shader node EDITOR in unity

@Uguruz thanks for he best tutorial on this subject. What should I do with the green channel if I don't have an ambient occlusion map?

[@andrewjwhitus]

shouldn't the metal texture be all completely pitch black since there is absolutely zero metal?

[@APBXylon]

To achieve a more physically correct material, you should only use a metallic value of 0 (non-metallic), or 1 (metallic). Generally all material we see is either metallic or non-metallic. The downloaded texture set does not have a metallic map because the material does not have any metallic values. Tampering with the metallic value to be in-between (half-metallic) renders the material to be more "stylized", and subsequently not as appropriate for photorealism. Moreover, if you have a dirty metallic material with dust on top of the metallic surface, the metal map is used to tell the render engine that places that have grunge on should have metalness of 0 because dust and grunge are not metallic, and other parts to have metalness of 1. The spots that have metallic of 0, usually have a roughness map filling in with a higher value to convey that the grunge is rougher and therefore reflects less light.

Hi I'm your biggest fan

[@russmacc316]

Question for you, I am constantly having issues with the displacement map, it never seems to "displace" as nicely as yours. What types of objects are you using the textures on? Could it be that I'm using something too flat or perhaps I'm not tiling it enough or too much?

[@aiduck8307]

Nice video sir . 👍👍

5:30 how did you set the channel colour to black?

[@IndieSurgeGamesYT]

Hey. Love your tutorials you explain very well. Got a question. Can this work for unity terrain system? Like can i apply materials onto terrains?

[@UGuruz]

Yes, but the material implementation is a bit different for terrain.

[@فارس-م9ش]

@@UGuruz I've been looking for it for a while and what I figured out is that it needs a custom shader in order to make it works, the question is, is there any free shader that can I use?

[@cinnamonuwu1638]

for some reason when i put the displacement file in it gave an error and crashed anyone knows why?

[@Shubham-fk5oq]

I haven't used unity since I left form version 2018... There is lot of things are going, I specially Intresting in LWRP as it looks insane in mobile devices. Please make video on material workflow of LWRP

LWRP is now URP. I already have a few videos about URP.

Great video man, you never disappoint

[@UGuruz]

Glad to hear it

[@hakanklc8601]

I follow your videos and I like them very much, they are really useful and the videos I benefit from, thank you, I have a question, when I send material, I do not have a mask map section, how can I fix it?

[@mikeb3172]

PBR means having a smoothness/roughness map, not a slider...

[@aero7982]

Bro plz solve my problem when I make one room with white tiles texture and with white spot light when I bake it the room turns into grey plz solve bro

[@bernhagen93]

Hey i subscribed to your pateron for the customshader, where do i put the displacement texture there? i cant find a slot

[@tatsuya370]

If I go to the custom lit shader, there is only a mask map option is there

[@DigitalAdamTech]

Hey, do you know if you lose performance if you don't use a mask map, but have a shader like yours that allows you to use seperate textures? I think it takes up more memory, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for all the videos!

[@UGuruz]

Yes, it will affect the performance and if you are using lots of textures then mask map is the best option.

> Why I'm doing this? Because unity is crap, please Unity is 2023, use the fucking roughness map.
