FreePBR
What it is
FreePBR is a web library of downloadable physically based rendering materials and texture files for 3D and game development. Its homepage lists 609 free textures, with more being added. Materials support metalness/roughness and metallic/smoothness workflows; texture sets may include normal, albedo, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, and sometimes height maps. The files are 2048×2048 PNGs. The library is described as working out of the box with Blender and Unity, and compatible apps listed include 3ds Max, Maya, Unreal, Cinema 4D, Houdini, and Rhino. Free sets can be used in games and 3D designs for noncommercial purposes, but the files cannot be redistributed. The Download ALL library option is a $21 one-time purchase, including 600+ sets in one zip, commercial rights for the collection and future additions, VIP access, and the Desert Formations Pack textured model. FreePBR is intended for the video game and 3D community, including indie developers and artists.
