## Items

| Name         | Value | Description                                                                                  |

| 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.                          |
