News & Changes

PBR Materials for Commercial Interiors

A new Extension is launched with this update; the PBR Material Pack for Commercial Interiors.

This Extension contains the same categories of materials as the existing Material Pack Extension; bringing with it a total of 174 modernized materials based on input and feedback from our users.

If you are looking for even more PBR materials, you can also check out the ambientCG website as they helped contribute realistic materials for this pack and have many more available to download for free.

This Extension is the first step toward replacing the pre-existing Material Pack Extension with modernized material packages tailored to each industry to reduce downloading of materials that would normally not be used by different designer groups.
