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.
