Скачать или смотреть Roughness Maps Explained — Blocking Roughness in Maya

Roughness controls how light spreads across a surface.

In this video, we break down roughness maps and demonstrate the basic process of blocking roughness values in Maya as part of a PBR material workflow.

This lesson focuses on:

What roughness represents in physically based rendering

How roughness affects highlights and surface response

The relationship between roughness and metalness

Blocking in a simple roughness map for the robot asset

Connecting the roughness map to a Standard Surface material

The goal here is understanding, not refinement — establishing clear, intentional roughness values before moving on to more detailed texture work.

This foundational pass makes materials more readable, lighting more predictable, and later polish more controlled.
