**Bump**

* The surface's **degree of unevenness**is set.
  * `1` = flatness
  * `10` = the surface is **more uneven and rough** expressed

**Gloss**

* The surface's **degree of gloss**is set.
  * `1` = no gloss
  * `10` = very shiny
    {% endtab %}

{% tab title="PBR texture upload" %}

<figure><img src="https://917231921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fh5B2S7uKpAIaFKDxegCT%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0060bd28f418855d94dc4a87c400975bca560591%2Fupload-finishing-4.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **The first image you upload will be uploaded as Albedo (BaseColor)** map.
* **Supported file formats**: `.jpg`, `.png`
* **File size limit**: **Less than 5MB**
* **File naming convention**: To clearly indicate the purpose of each map, for example: `materialname_albedo.png` it is recommended to use this format.

### Albedo (BaseColor)

* **Role**: Represents the base color of the surface.
* **Features**: Pure color information without lighting or shadow information

### Normal

* **Role**: Controls the direction of light reflection to express detailed surface texture
* **Features**: A blue/purple-toned map that uses RGB channels

### Roughness

* **Role**: Controls the surface roughness and reflectivity
* **Features**: A grayscale map ranging from white (rough) to black (smooth)

### Metalness

* **Role**: Controls whether the surface is metallic
* **Features**: A black-and-white map usually represented as 0 or 1

### Height

* **Role**: Emphasizes depth by representing height differences on the surface
* **Features**: A grayscale map (more realistic when used together with a Normal map)

{% hint style="warning" %}
All maps must **tiling (Seamless Texture)** be applied.
{% endhint %}

### **Map creation and extraction methods**

#### Recommended tools

* Adobe Substance Painter
* Adobe Substance Designer

#### Notes during creation

* All maps must have tiling applied, and non-tiled maps may cause unexpected rendering results.
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

### **Product Info - Basic Information**

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://917231921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fh5B2S7uKpAIaFKDxegCT%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f6c32849ed94908649fdc723723da98a91ba05d4%2Fupload-finishing-5.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Name**

* Please enter the product name to be shown in the editor.

**3D Size**

* Please enter the image size.
* The size you set will be applied to the editor as is.

### **Sales Information**

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://917231921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fh5B2S7uKpAIaFKDxegCT%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ed29564fa337f7ddf485517bec29cb5a831db866%2Fupload-finishing-6.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If needed, enter commercial information as well. If you enter the selling price, sales unit, and application (installation) area, it can be used immediately for estimates and calculations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip — If you enter the selling price, unit, and application area accurately when first uploading, the amount per area will be automatically calculated later in the estimate, reducing your workload.
{% endhint %}

If all other required information has been entered, **the Upload** button.

Submitted items will be `Finishing Materials > Unclassified Products`saved to.

## Step 3. Move to category

Items in 'Unclassified Products' **will not be shown in the editor.**

Be sure to set a category. **The method for setting categories is the same as for furniture products**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archisketch.com/guide/enterprise-en/manage-finishing/upload-finishing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
