ArmorLab is an open-source software designed for generating PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) materials from images. It allows users to create high-quality materials and textures for 3D models quickly and efficiently. With its powerful yet user-friendly features, ArmorLab is a great companion tool for artists and game developers, especially when used alongside ArmorPaint.
