# Apply PBR to your own model

The fastest way to add measured PBR materials to an asset you already have, using the **PBR Pipeline** template.

**Pipeline:** Load 3D Model → Generate PBR Textures **Cost:** 10 credits

### When to use this

You have a textured 3D model — an artist-made asset, a photogrammetry scan, or an AI-generated mesh — and you want a full PBR material stack for it.

### Before you start

* Your file meets the 3D file support rules (embedded base-colour texture, supported format).
* The asset does **not** already have PBR materials. See Sourcing & preparing assets.

### Steps

1. Create a **new project** and add the **PBR Pipeline** template.
2. In **Load 3D Model**, upload your `.glb`, `.usdz` or `.fbx`.
3. Run **Generate PBR Textures** *(10 credits)*. The model predicts albedo, metallic, roughness and IOR — usually a few minutes.
4. Inspect the result in the **3D viewer**.
5. **Export** the textured asset and its individual maps.

### Tips

* If the result looks off, the input is the usual cause — recheck UVs and confirm there's no existing PBR.
* The web viewer is still being refined; if it looks wrong in-viewer, check the exported maps before re-running.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.m-xr.com/marso-studio/workflows/apply-pbr-to-your-own-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
