PBR Metal Spheres

[Matt]

Update 2022: For Terragen 4.5 and later, use this much simpler method instead: https://planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,30229.0.html

The following is for Terragen 4.4 and earlier.

Here's an example project that uses PBR metal textures from cc0textures.com.

It uses the path tracer and robust adaptive sampling which works best in 4.4 and above. It should also render in 4.3, but 4.4 will be faster.

You will need to download the textures from here: https://cc0textures.com/view.php?tex=Metal05

The displacement amplitude was too high, causing hard edges in the lighting at the terminators.

Reducing the displacement amplitude to 0.003 gives this:

I think PBR is very good and I like to work with it, it would be nicer if the connections were a little easier in TG, like the Wrangler in Blender.
However, nothing beats the good old files generated by dear members here in the forum to generate the material.
This also works under unfavorable perspectives where PBR has to put up
