are responsible for the following properties of surfaces: 1. image: The diffuse map is a coloured image of the surface. 2. reflection: The normal map determines how a light source is reflected in the surface. 3. roughness: The roughness map defines smooth and rough areas. 4. gloss: The metalness map (sometimes also called gloss map) determines how strongly reflective a surface is at the location. 5. heights and depths: The displacement or height map: These define this information.

Ultimately, it is about the design of any product surface.

The products have these properties, which contain information about the manufacturer and product.

Use of the images

The images have different meanings for the visualisation of surfaces on which these texturesplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

are applied. To achieve a realistic appearance, maps are required in this order (from important to less important): 1. diffuse map 2. normal map 3. roughness map 4. metalness map 5. displacement or height map

Some maps contain similar information and can be used to generate other maps. For example, a normal map can be generated from a height map or a displacement map.

Diffuse map

The diffuse map is the basic textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

A texture is an image that is displayed on the surface of a virtual body in order to change the surface properties such as colour, roughness, metalness, normal vectors and others.
and is also known as the colour map, as it is used to define the colours of the model.

Normal map

A normal map influences the normal vector. In geometry, a normal vector is a vector that is orthogonal (i.e. at right angles, perpendicular) to a straight line, curve, plane or (curved) surface. A straight line with this vector as the direction vector is called a normal vector (en: normal). (More about this: Wikipedia)

The normal vector influences the direction of light reflection. The normal map can therefore be used to influence light reflection.

What does a rotating dot on the normal quality indicator mean? If the bright dot rotates here, then a reflection is influenced by the normal map in such a way that a rotation of the surface around the vertical axis for a light reflection causes a shift in the position of the reflection. This means that if the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

Creating a normal map

The button Generate button is used to create a normal map from the diffuse map. This button can be used if the texturesplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

These values can be adjusted as required. Each time the filter options are changed, a new map is created and the results can be seen on the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

as a normal map or the existing normal map is replaced by the new map.

Roughness Map

The roughness map provides information and details about the surface, whether it is rough or smooth. It is a greyscale map that varies in all shades of grey. A surface with a lower roughness value is more reflective and a higher roughness shows fewer highlights.

AO Map

An Ambient Occlusion or AO map is a greyscale map that contains lighting data. It is often used together with the diffuse map to create small shadow details on the surface. (More about this: AO Map)

Emissive map

An emissive map is known as a fullbright map, glow map, incandescence map or self-illumination map. It is used for a glow effect in the dark, but does not emit any light onto neighbouring surfaces. It can be used in conjunction with a diffuse map to add a glow effect, such as magical runes on a sword or the heated material of a torch.

Metalness Map

A metalness map is used to define which areas of the material are metallic. It is a greyscale map in which the black areas are dielectric and non-metallic and the white area represents metal.

Notes

The diffuse map and the normal map are primarily used for VRplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigVirtual reality (VR)

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated, interactive environment in which a person can fully immerse themselves. With the help of special devices such as VR glasses, the real world is completely replaced by a simulated one. The user experiences a three-dimensional, artificial environment that can appeal to all the senses.
