Hey you yeah you have you ever wondered how to make custom roblox materials like this for your terrain to stick out from all the other games on the platform well keep watching and find out yo what’s up guys how are we doing today we’re doing good we’re doing good i have recently Started using material service which is a beta feature i think it does come out very very shortly but if it’s not out by the time you’re watching this video first things first you’re going to want to go up to your file button right here click on beta features and uh you know Get the ones you want this one is material service so you’ll just scroll through here right there material service and just check that save and you’ll be all good now that you have enabled material service you have a new tab called material service right here under lighting and what you need to do Is right click on it insert object and you want to insert a material v variant i already have a few extra in here so we’re just going to work off one of those now how this works is you need pvr materials basically each material you Put in you need a color map a metalness map normal map and roughness map you don’t need every single one of those for example none of mine are using metalness maps but you can if you have like a metal you know and you want to have a metal map For your metal material anyways let’s go ahead and show you guys how to do this the next texture that i’m gonna go ahead and put in we’ll go ahead we’ll make it brick so you don’t need to name these but it does help a lot so i’m just gonna Name this brick like so and then base material this is the material that we’re selecting for it to replace so we’re gonna go find bricks right there and now we need to open up our color map add image and you’ll basically need to go on your computer wherever you saved your Pbr material to and add that image into the game so i have this one and you’ll do the same thing with the other maps right after i import these i will show you guys how to get pbr materials if you don’t know how to make them alright so After you have in all your maps whether that be color map only or any of them that you have put those in and then you’re gonna head back up and click on material service go into properties find what you want to overdrive so it doesn’t Have to be the materials but it could be and it could also just be terrain and that’s all i’m focused on at the moment brick would make a lot more sense if i did it in materials so like let me just kind of show you guys this we’ll put a Part down and now all we got to do is change this material to brick and it will be our uh our new texture okay now this looks so so cool in comparison to the roblox materials and it’s just a great way to stylize your game and stick out in a crowd of People so let’s go ahead and uh i don’t know just put a brick wall back here because why not i guess that works just a brick wall nice now i’m guessing you guys are wondering yo where do we get these pbr materials i don’t even know what a pbr Material is how do i do this so there is this website right here called freepbr.com and uh yeah you could download any pbr texture for free it does look like there is some paid stuff like all 400 plus pbr texture sets in one click so if You don’t want to go through this whole website and you wanted to say spend nine dollars it looks like you just get the whole website in one click so it depends if you want to be lazy or not anyways what you want to look for first say you Want to change your grass or your ground let’s go ahead click on ground and now you can see we have grass we have lavas just all this stuff that we’re going to need and you can put all of this right into roblox so you’ll click on what you Want and this next part is very important so these attachments these are your downloads there’s a lava and rock bl lava and rock ue and lava and rock unity so this one is set up for unity you don’t want that this one is set up for unreal engine you Don’t want that and this bl is going to give you pngs of everything that you need so you’ll download this bl one right here and once you download it you’ll get it in this zip file you just open that up and here’s all of your pngs There’s even jpeg so click on one of these and here is the texture now this would be your base color this one’s uh emissive this one would be ambient occlusion that’s what ao is roblox doesn’t really have a spot for that or height but you have your metal map right Here your normal map right here preview and your roughness map so you have all the maps you need to take it into roblox and get your very own custom materials now the great thing about pbr first off you can make your own as well you don’t Have to go to any websites you don’t have to do any of that i still am new i don’t know how to do all of that the websites are definitely the best bet for us starters and it’s just so cool how much different you can make your game Than any other roblox game so if we just kind of take a look at some of this stuff that i have let me uh let me kind of grow something here um grow let’s make it rock and i’m just gonna put it like right here all right now this is The custom rock that i got i’m just kind of making this pretty massive all right so something like this and then i have a custom lava so if i go to paint set that down to one the lava one always breaks for me for some reason if you’re uh If your material does break which it still is in beta so that’s to happen just go back to it and redo your color map so click on this add image find your lava map bring it back in and there we go there’s the uh the Custom lava for for this one or at least like this uh texture set here and uh if it breaks you just gotta bring it back in that’s all guys this lava kinda looks more like honey but i’ll take it still pretty cool i need like a more of a Black rock texture but look at this in like the shortest span of time look at that it’s just it doesn’t even look like roblox anymore which is so good for the platform everyone will be able to have like limitless styles with this so make sure you learn how to use this before it Comes
