Overview

Summary

The Unity Editor uses Physically Based Rendering (PBR) in order to more accurately simulate realistic lighting scenarios. To fully take advantage of PBR, a material should be physically based. This is done through the Shader  — the script that mathematically calculates how a material should appear under different lighting conditions. In this tutorial, you will learn about standard Shaders and texture properties.
