How PMR's surface materials work: From texture types (Albedo, ARM, normals, glow, blur) and naming, to assigning shaders and UV maps in Blender, baking ambient occlusion with vertex colors, converting textures to .dds, setting up realistic glass and broadmaps, and creating custom liveries and ambient ground shadows so your car looks believable and game-ready.
