Why is PBR Bridge so useful?

Firstly, the addon auto generates color material ID and auto bakes Material IDs with UDIM support.

Also, you can keep a non destructive workflow, so no need to apply any modifier (or remove “final displacements”). Which is perfect for a Multires Sculpting workflow.

Additionally, you also can use separated meshes without the need for joining or selecting them.

Then the addon auto creates Quixel Mixer, Substance Painter & ArmorPaint projects with up to date FBX/OBJ and material ID maps.

And it comes with an Advanced PBR Shader with UDIM support which will produce Cavity & Subsurface from other generated maps.

No need to dive into the Shader, just tweak all Material Attributes from within the Viewport3D.

Finally the addon will add final Subdivision & Displacement with UDIM support from generated displacement map.
