File Naming Rule

Import PBR Images

Import other PBR maps once after importing a Base Color Map.

2. Change images’ names according to the file naming rule.
   → Apply the rules for importing all PBR Maps.
   
   

File Naming Rule

Follow the image naming rule with 3 components with the order 'Image Name_PBR Map Name'

• Image Name
  It should be placed at the beginning. The name can be customized.
  Use the same image name to recognize that those map images are in the same group.
  
  
• Underscore _
  • It should be placed in the middle.
    
    
• PBR Map Name
  It should be placed at the end. The name needs to follow the chart below.
  Affect the image import position in CLO Property Editor.
  
  

  Property Editor	PBR Map Image Name	Example
  Base Color Map	Image Name   Image Name_BASE   Image Name_color Image Name_COL   Image Name_diffuse Image Name_DIFF
