    Just as the title says, many people don't know how the new PBR system works nor do I so please share how the heck you're meant to do it

    thanks

    it literally shows how to switch to pbr right at the very top
    just press the button and you're done

    it also has some guides, read those too

    Bruh no you are supposed to read what each texture does and make them yourself, nobody said it will be easy

    so why is there no tutorial on how to do files, the images needed for it makes sense but there’s no tutorial as far as I know which makes the hole thing really annoying

    The only files you need are the same ones as in official vehicles, you copy everything and change to what you need

    why's there no tutorial how to make a NEW pbr mod? It's all how to transfer it from the old to new system

    There is no tutorial because it's too obvious... You set up your materials exactly the same way as you would do when doing a Blender render. If you know how to do that, then you know how to make a mod like this. If you don't then learn that.

    but blender doesn't have a bunch of files you need to tell the textures where to go and how to be on the car

    Well, yeah, that's what the materials file is for, and you take that from whatever official vehicle you want and rename everything. Easy.

    ok you could have said that so could the devs but that actually helps instead of going 'it's too obvious'

    Take a look at vehicles which already have this feature implemented and adapt to your needs
