title: PBR textures (optional)
description: PBR textures are high-definition texture maps that can elevate your custom characters.

Physically-based rendering (PBR) textures use multiple texture maps to define how a surface reacts under different lighting and environmental conditions. PBR textures can elevate the look and feel of your assets, including your avatar, accessories, and clothing. Typically, PBR textures are created in a texturing tool, such as [Substance 3D](https://www.adobe.com/products/substance3d-painter) or [ZBrush](https://www.maxon.net/en/zbrush). Many third-party 3D models available online include PBR textures.

Although each template includes PBR textures, for the purpose of demonstrating the basic texturing process within Blender, this tutorial doesn't cover the PBR texturing process. For more information and references on advanced texturing, see [PBR textures](../../../art/modeling/surface-appearance.md).
