After a successful beta test, Filter Forge, Inc. announced the final release of Filter Forge 9.0, a node-based image processing and texturing tool allowing computer artists to create realistic textures. The new version introduces support for physically based rendering (PBR) – the industry standard for real-world texturing in 3D modeling and rendering.

Making our textures physically correct was probably the most requested feature. It’s been long overdue but it’s finally here, and it’s awesome!

Filter Forge 9.0 introduces the long-awaited support for physically based rendering (PBR). It is a modern method of texture shading and rendering that provides an accurate representation of how light interacts with physical surfaces. The new Filter Forge 9 supports texture generation and packing for Unity 2018 and Unreal Engine 4, including textures for albedo, height, normal, roughness, metallic, emission, and occlusion channels.
