			The shader node is a Principled BSDF shader and the FBX exporter supports the export of some texture names but not all. The following connections should be made:

			Albedo texture to the Base Color input.

			Parameter texture to the Roughness input.

			The normal texture, via a normal converter set to Tangent, to the Normal input.

			The 3D view of the mesh does not show a true PBR render.

			You will need to update the texture.txt files created by the Trainz FBX importer.

			The albedo must have the "Use Alpha" and Influence->Diffuse->Alpha tag ticked. The normal does not require any special settings. The parameters texture must use the Influence->Specular->Hardness tag (checkbox). The value of the hardness is not exported by the Blender FBX exporter. Sample settings are shown below. All textures except the albedo are using png in this example because they do not require an Alpha channel.

	A: The alpha channel provides a greyscale [[blended alpha]] channel. Black indicates full transparency. White indicates full opacity. Mid levels offer partial transparency. If the alpha channel is omitted, this material becomes fully opaque but still suffers from a number of drawbacks, unlike the truly opaque [[m.pbrmetal]]. Note that unlike legacy Trainz materials, PBR materials do not autodetect opacity mode based on the texture in use. The content creator must select the appropriate material for their desired outcome. Runtime texture replacement should not expect to replace an opaque texture with a blended or masked texture and have the material update automatically.

	RGB: Surface normal. This defines which way the surface is facing, relative to the interpolated vertex normals. Since this is an XYZ format rather than color data, it should never be modified in Photoshop. Using Photoshop to add a fourth channel or copy/paste smaller textures into a [[texture atlas]] is acceptable. Per-pixel manipulation or use of filters on the "RGB" channels is not acceptable.

	A: [[Parallax Occlusion Map\|Displacement height]]. 0.0 represents the deepest possible value, while 1.0 represents the shallowest possible value. While it is possible to paint this data in Photoshop, a linear color space must be used, and far superior results will be available through other data sources. The parallax height and the surface normal must be kept in sync, which means that a third-party tool must be used to generate the surface normal from the parallax height if you are painting this map manually.
