{{pbr2source|4.1}} is a tool written in {{Python|4}} by '''koerismo''' that is used to port PBR materials to any {{src|4.1}} game, even those without support for a PBR shader. When converting to standard shaders, it uses special algorithms to bake different texture maps into one diffuse texture. When converting to use with a PBR shader, it takes different texture maps and makes an MRAO map. This program automatically creates a fully functional VMT file, with optional reflections, and also can flip the Y of a normal map if it was created in a program using {{maya|4.1|addtext='s}} format instead of {{3dmax|4.1|addtext='s}} format.

{{pbr2source|4.1}} is a tool written in {{Python|4}} by '''koerismo''' that can be used to port PBR materials to a wide variety of {{src|4.1}} games, even those without PBR shader support. When converting to standard shaders, it uses several algorithms to approximate roughness and metalness with a combination of [[Phong materials|Phong]] and [[$envmap|$envmap]] reflections. When converting for use with a PBR shader, it simply combines the provided textures. On export, a VMT file will be created that defines the material for use in-game.

The PBR-2-Source v1.0 interface

PBR-2-Source PBR-2-Source is a tool written in Python Python by koerismo that can be used to port PBR materials to a wide variety of Source Source games, even those without PBR shader support. When converting to standard shaders, it uses several algorithms to approximate roughness and metalness with a combination of Phong and $envmap reflections. When converting for use with a PBR shader, it simply combines the provided textures. On export, a VMT file will be created that defines the material for use in-game.
