	One of the main advantages of PBR - besides looking extremely good for minimal effort by the artists - is how streamlined the process of generating the textures becomes. Regardless of if you created the textures \in an image editing program or in a dedicated texturing app like Substance Painter, you know that "what you see is what you get" - ie. the final look of the model in the target gaming engine will be the same as what you're seeing in your authoring software.

Hello world

PBR stands for Physically Based Render, it's a technique for 3D surface shading that tries to replicate the physical properties of light when hitting a given surface. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

One of the main advantages of PBR - besides looking extremely good for minimal effort by the artists - is how streamlined the process of generating the textures becomes. Regardless of if you created the textures \in an image editing program or in a dedicated texturing app like Substance Painter, you know that "what you see is what you get" - ie. the final look of the model in the target gaming engine will be the same as what you're seeing in your authoring software.

SanguinarioJoe (from Spring 1944) & Ivand (from ZeroK) have developed powerful PBR shaders for the Spring engine.
