PBR Material Previewer

PBR Material Previewer

Upload your PBR texture maps and preview your material in real-time on a 3D model. Supports albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, AO, height, and emissive maps. Adjustable lighting, environment background, and model shapes.

How to Use

1

Upload Maps

Drop a folder or individual PBR maps. Auto-detects albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, AO, height, and emissive by filename.

2

Adjust Settings

Tweak light intensity, roughness scale, emissive strength, model shape, and background to match your target rendering environment.

3

Inspect & Iterate

Rotate, zoom, and pan the 3D model to inspect your material from all angles before importing into your game engine.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Albedo (base color), Normal, Roughness, Metallic, Ambient Occlusion (AO), Height (displacement), and Emissive maps. Upload any combination and see them rendered on a 3D sphere with physically-based lighting. The auto-detect drop zone classifies maps by filename.
Yes. Use the Model Shape dropdown to switch between a sphere (best for general material preview), a flat plane (best for floor/wall textures), and a rounded cube (best for hard-surface materials).
We use Three.js's MeshStandardMaterial with ACES filmic tone mapping, which closely approximates PBR shading in Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender. It uses the metallic-roughness workflow. For final production, always verify in your target engine.
Yes. Light intensity, roughness scale, and emissive intensity are all adjustable via sliders. The background preset also affects perceived lighting contrast. You can also toggle auto-rotate to have the model spin slowly for a hands-free preview.
No. All previewing happens entirely in your browser using Three.js and WebGL. Your texture maps are loaded locally and never leave your computer.
The metallic-roughness workflow uses a roughness map (stored in the Green channel or as a separate grayscale map) and a metallic map to define surface properties. This is the standard PBR workflow for Unity, Unreal Engine, and most game engines. The alternative specular-glossiness workflow is not supported by this previewer.
