Finishing Material Upload (Expert)

This guide explains how to use texture maps in the PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) method to achieve high-quality rendered results.

Path: Dashboard > Corporate Library > Products > Finishes > Upload (Expert)

Initial upload screen

  • Recommended upload order: You may upload any map first, but Albedo(BaseColor) it is recommended to upload the map first.

  • Select multiple files After drag & dropto batch uploadis also available.

  • Supported file formats: .jpg, .png

  • File size limit: Less than 5MB

Map descriptions by upload area

For expert uploads, you can upload a total of five maps separately.

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 reflected light to express detailed surface texture

  • Features: A blue/purple-toned map that uses RGB channels

Roughness

  • Role: Controls surface roughness and reflectivity

  • Features: A grayscale map ranging from white (rough) to black (smooth)

Metalness

  • Role: Controls whether the material is metallic

  • Features: A black-and-white map usually represented as 0 or 1

Height

  • Role: Represents surface height information to emphasize depth

  • Features: A grayscale map (more realistic effects when used together with a Normal map)

All maps must tiling (Seamless Texture) be applied.

Map creation and extraction methods

Recommended tools

  • Adobe Substance Painter

  • Adobe Substance Designer

Notes for creation

  • All maps must have tiling applied, and non-tiling maps may cause unexpected rendering results.

Expert upload vs. standard upload

Number of maps to upload

1 (BaseColor)

Up to 5 (Albedo, Normal, Roughness, Metalness, Height)

Auto-correction feature

Provided (Roughness, Normal automatically generated)

Not provided – user uploads manually

Output quality

Basic level

High-quality PBR rendering available

Recommended for

General users

3D professionals and designers

For general users, uploading only BaseColor for a simple upload experience allows Archisketch to automatically generate and apply Roughness and Normal through the auto-correction feature.

Other notes

  • Filename convention: To clearly indicate the purpose of each map, for example: materialname_albedo.png using this format is recommended.
