You will notice a drop-down at the top left of the Viewport that gives you the option to cycle through different render modes.

• PBR Metalness: Physically-Based Rendering in Metalness Workflow.

• Diffuse/Albedo: Color of the surface.

• Metalness: Metallicity of the surface.

• PBR Specular: Specular reflections map of the surface.

• Gloss: Smoothness of the surface.

• Roughness: Roughness of the surface.

• Normal: Normals of the surface.

• Displacement: Vertical displacement of the surface.

• Occlusion: Soft shadows on the surface.

• Layer Mask: Mask (visibility) of the selected layer.

• Active Mask: This shows the mask of the type selected.

*If a layer is selected in Active Mask mode, it will show the same view as the Layer Mask. If a mask stack is selected, it will show the corresponding mask. If a mask component is selected, it will show the resulting mask of that component or modifier.

• Material ID: Shows Material ID colors on your mesh. The Material ID image below is based on a custom 3D mesh.
