PrincipledMaterial is a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) material that follows
the Metal/Roughness workflow. This section describes the basics of using the
fundamental properties of the PrincipledMaterial. An alternative workflow is
the Specular/Glossy workflow which works like the PrincipledMaterial and is
called SpecularGlossyMaterial.

The Metalness property of the PrincipledMaterial defines how to interpret the
Base Color of the material. A value of 0 means that the material is dielectric
(non-metal) and Base Color should be interpreted as diffuse reflected color. If
the Metalness value is 1 then the material is a raw metal and Base Color should
be interpreted as reflectance values. For the the most realistic results, this
value should be either 0 or 1, but it is possible to set values in between to
get mixed of both for artistic reasons."

a greyscale image. By default PrincipledMaterial will use the value in the blue
channel of the texture, but it's possible to change which color channel is used.

The Roughness property defines the amount of irregularities in the surface of

of it will be spread and cause light diffusion. If the surface instead is smooth
with few surface irregularity then light will be reflected in a more focused and
intense manner. A value of 0.0 means that the surface is smooth and reflective as
a mirror, and a value of 1.0 means that the surface is so rough its hard for light
to be reflected at all."
