Introduction to Materials
Understanding the material model for achieving photorealism
Not all materials are created equal. Creating realistic and believable materials is one of the pillars to achieve a high render quality that manages to impress your customers.
pCon.planner uses the most modern material model called PBR (Physically Based Render), which seeks to more accurately model the flow of light in the real world. In natural conditions, light is not absorbed, reflected or refracted to 100%: all materials lie in a spectrum between these extreme points. With PBR materials you’re able to define and control how a material will realistically interact with light in a non-uniform way.
In this webinar we’ll introduce the PBR material model and overview a series of functions and good practices which will allow you to make better renders.
