  ADVANCED WARNING! Intent to retire certain items....... With the advent of Firestorms PBR viewer, the advent of 2k textures and Adobe going full Borg collective/1984 I will be making a full change over to Instamat for the time being, this means that certain items are going to be redone in Instamat along with alignment to the theme/fatpack model I have been operating from recently. Those that have brought said items should contact me in SL for a free upgrade to the replacement material (I'll also soon be looking into auto update boxes in SL but have had past unpleasant experiences so want to make sure I get what is needed before proceeding down that path. This weeks replacements are as follows - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/TI-PBR-Hexagon-Flooring-Purple-Emissive/25462574 To be replaced with a new 1k and 2k version. And https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/TI-PBR-Hexagon-Flooring-Black-Emissive/25462517 Which likewise will be upgraded with 1k and 2k versions. Their sister

Q - How does it differ from the old format? A - The diffuse/specular/normal workflow has been replaced with a new workflow of Base Color/Combined roughness metal/Normal/Emissive (4 textures in total, in addition there is now no need to apply each map separately or upload separately as they can be packaged together in a material which can simply be dragged and dropped onto an object.  In your inventory they should look like this - Double clicking the item (now known as a material) will display the texture
