What is a PBR material?
PBR stands for physically based rendering. A PBR material describes how a surface reacts to light using values like base colour, roughness and metalness, so it looks believable in any lighting.

How to do it
- Open the MeshShot web app.
- Import a GLB. PBR materials are stored inside it.
- Change the lighting and the finish and watch how the surface responds.
Roughness controls how sharp reflections are, and metalness switches a surface between plastic-like and metal-like. glTF and GLB files are built around this model, which is why they look consistent across tools.
Good to know: If a model looks flat, the cause is often weak lighting rather than the material.
Questions
Does OBJ support PBR?
Not natively. GLB is the better choice.
Do I need to know this to use MeshShot?
No. Presets handle it.
