What is GeneradorMapsPbr?

GeneradorMapsPbr is an add-on for Blender by Fran-Dominguez-Leiva-2 that generates PBR texture maps from a diffuse texture. Its modular design covers normal maps, roughness, ambient occlusion, and displacement, alongside metallic, specular, and height outputs.

The add-on works from a diffuse texture as its input. Note that it is not intended for use with an Albedo texture, which does not carry the information needed to generate the maps. Keeping the input to a diffuse source is part of how the add-on is meant to be used.

Distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, GeneradorMapsPbr is compatible with Blender 4.4 and newer. It requires no special permissions and can be added by dragging and dropping into Blender, or by downloading and installing from disk. At version 1.0.0, it remains a compact tool at just a few kilobytes in size.

Who is GeneradorMapsPbr best for?

GeneradorMapsPbr is best for blender users who need to derive PBR texture maps from a diffuse texture.

How much does GeneradorMapsPbr cost?

GeneradorMapsPbr is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does GeneradorMapsPbr work with Blender 4.4?

GeneradorMapsPbr is compatible with Blender 4.4 and newer. If you are running an earlier version of Blender, you would need to update before installing the add-on. The current release is version 1.0.0, updated in February 2026. Because it targets the newer extensions system, it is designed for recent Blender builds rather than legacy releases, so confirm your Blender version meets the minimum requirement before installing.

How do I install GeneradorMapsPbr in Blender?

GeneradorMapsPbr can be installed by dragging and dropping the file into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk through Blender's preferences. The add-on requires no special permissions, which keeps the setup simple. It is a compact download at only a few kilobytes, so installation is quick. After installing, ensure your Blender version is 4.4 or newer for the add-on to function.

Can GeneradorMapsPbr use an Albedo texture as input?

GeneradorMapsPbr should not be used with an Albedo texture. According to the developer, an Albedo texture does not have the information needed to generate the maps. Instead, the add-on is built to work from a diffuse texture, from which it creates normal, roughness, ambient occlusion, displacement, and other maps. Using the correct diffuse input is important for the add-on to produce its texture outputs as intended.

Is GeneradorMapsPbr free to use?

GeneradorMapsPbr is listed as free here and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. This license governs how the add-on may be used and shared. For the most current licensing details and any updates, check the developer's page on the Blender extensions platform. The add-on is currently at version 1.0.0 and requires no special permissions to run within Blender.
