These texturesplugin-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. are responsible for the following surface properties:
- Image: The diffuse map is a coloured image of the surface.
- Reflection: The normal map determines how a light source is reflected in the surface.
- Roughness: The roughness map defines smooth and rough areas.
- Gloss: The metalness map (sometimes also called gloss map) determines how reflective a surface is at a given point.
- Height and depth: The displacement or height map defines this information.
The example of this cobblestone pavement shows the effect of these elements. Turn the cube to the right against the light.

Product characteristics
Texturesplugin-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. are often used for products that give surfaces their character. Surfaces can be:
- Floors
- Walls
- Doors
- etc.
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 images
Let's take a look at the technical details. The images have different meanings for the representation of surfaces on which these texturesplugin-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. are applied. To achieve a realistic appearance, maps are required in the following order (from most important to least important):
- Diffuse map
- Normal map
- Roughness map
- Metalness map
- 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. The example of cobblestones uses all image types supported by vrdoro.
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 referred to as a 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. perpendicular) to a straight line, curve, plane or (curved) surface. A straight line with this vector as its direction vector is called a normal vector (en: normal). (More on this: Wikipedia)
The normal vector influences the direction of light reflection. The normal map can therefore be used to influence light reflection.
When viewing a 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., we also display a normal quality indicator as a blue-purple circle below the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

The more stationary the bright spot is, the smaller the deviation from the perpendicular normal for this 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..
What does a rotating point on the normal quality indicator mean? If the bright point rotates here, the reflection is influenced by the normal map in such a way that a rotation of the surface around the vertical axis causes a positional shift of the reflection. This means that if the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

For flat surfaces such as floors or walls, only texturesplugin-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. should be used where the normal quality indicator shows as stable a point as possible.
Creating a normal map
The “'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
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. do not have a normal map or if the normal map is incorrect. After the normal map has been created, the filter options are displayed with the default values used to create it. These values can be adjusted as needed. 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

The ‘Save’ button appears when we generate a normal map. Clickplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigClick
Depending on the device, clicking refers to the user action for selecting an element. For devices with a mouse, this means pointing to the element followed by pressing the left mouse button. For devices with touch displays, this means tapping or tapping and holding (iOS: long touch). In theing the ‘Save’ button saves the newly generated normal map to the texturesplugin-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. as a normal map or replaces the existing normal map with 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.
If the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

Displacement Map
The displacement map, also known as a height map, defines the height range of the structure. It is also a greyscale map that varies from black to white and defines the height of the structure. The white part of the 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. represents the higher part of the material and the black areas represent the lower parts.
AO Map
An ambient occlusion or AO map is a greyscale map that contains lighting data. It is often used in conjunction with the diffuse map to create small shadow details on the surface. (More on this: AO Map)

Emissive Map
An emissive map is referred to as a fullbright map, glow map, incandescence map or self-illumination map. It is used to create a glowing effect in the dark, but does not emit light onto neighbouring surfaces. It can be used in conjunction with a diffuse map to add a glowing effect, such as magical runes on a sword or the heated material of a torch. Metalness Map A metalness map defines which areas of the material are metallic. It is a greyscale map where the black areas are dielectric and non-metallic and the white area represents metal. Alpha Map
The alpha map is a greyscale textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

Notes
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. scenes that are also used on less powerful devices, the diffuse map and normal map are primarily used.
