You will then be welcomed by the Material Browser. To apply the material simply click on the desired one. Keep in mind that if you intend to use these materials on Tokens, you need to select PBR in the material option.

Loading a PBR Material

Tokens, walls, tiles and the scene table support PBR Materials. To load a pbr material you need a specific file naming stuctures. The files must be named as follows and be all in the same folder - Example:

Wood077_1K_AmbientOcclusion.jpg

Wood077_1K_Color.jpg

Wood077_1K_Emissive.jpg

Wood077_1K_Metalness.jpg

Wood077_1K_NormalGL.jpg

Wood077_1K_Roughness.jpg

As you can see all the files share a root name then keywords to differentiate the different textures. You can find materials already setup this way here AmbientCG

For 3D Canvas to pickup these materials you need to select one of the files in the image field.

IMPORTANT: For the full material to be loaded you can pick any of the images but NOT Color, otherwise only the color texture will be used

For walls you can load the image in it's texture field, same for tokens, tiles and the scene Table. Tokens also require that the material is set to PBR.

*Note: For performance reasons displacement maps are not supported
