What does the Physically Based Rendering (PBR) mean?

[Freddymaus]

Hello there

I just got into making CS skins and trying to visualize my ideas to reality. But recently I checked the skin making guide website (https://www.counter-strike.net/workshop/workshopfinishes) and read about the PBR. What does that exactly mean? Do I need to edit my workshop submissions now?

I have no idea, maybe some of you know what they mean with the PBR?

pbr is how the physical properties of the surface of an object reacts to lighting.
so if say a wall has a material of shiny metal light will now reflect off of it compared to say a wall that's made from concrete were light would not reflect off of it as much.
