## Items

| Name         | Value | Description                                                                                  |
| ------------ | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ColorMap     | 0     | The color map (albedo texture). Contains the base color information of the surface.          |
| MetalnessMap | 1     | The metalness map. Defines the degree to which the surface reflects like a metal.            |
| NormalMap    | 2     | The normal map. Represents fine surface irregularities without changing the actual geometry. |
| RoughnessMap | 3     | The roughness map. Defines the degree to which the surface scatters light.                   |
| Max          | 4     | An internal value representing the maximum number of texture types.                          |
