FREE TOOL For Creating PBR Material Maps from Photos - Materialize!

[@Glossopwildcamp]

This is the program many of us have been waiting for, thanks for bringing this to our attention Justin! Yes PLEASE show us how to make seamless textures too.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

:) - Glad you liked it!

[@felipelima4548]

The seamless texture can be created using a photoshop too. You'll only have to adjust the conections and extend the size of your project screen so like a image with 800x800, transform into a 1920x1080 px until fullfil the project screen. Then you will have created a seamless texture. Just make sure to see if all the conections doesn't have some line or signal of white spaces. When applying in the rendering program be careful to extend the image size until satisfied with the results. Hope it works to you bro.

[@Glossopwildcamp]

@@felipelima4548 Thank you Felipe, I really appreciate your advice and for being so thorough :-)

[@pers0com406]

@@Glossopwildcamp you can also achieve this in blender, I watched a video recently on it.

Since Photoshop removed the 3D function, I’ve been struggling to create normal maps. Your solution has been a lifesaver! Thank you so much-I’m definitely subscribing!

[@StringerCourier]

What an amazing tool. It never ceases to amaze me that there are these genius programmers out there creating this stuff ... for free. And combined with your excellent videos, well, it makes model making a whole lot easier. Thanks.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Seriously - such a great tool!

[@tiredfrog308]

Such an incredibly useful tutorial! The creators of this software are absolute saints for making this open source.

[@myleshallhonorreclaimed6252]

This is going to be just awesome for me. I've been working on recreating a 16th-century building that used re-purposed wood planks from various sources for the walls and flooring. I could never find anything that quite gave the look I wanted. This will do exactly what I need -- I can warp it to just about a rough as I want. What a great find -- thanks, Justin!!!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Yep - should definitely help! :)

Great info. Would love you to do a tutorial for the seamless texture. Also kindly work us through the best way to save these PBR materials + externally in lumion after applying all the texture channels in their respective slots so it could be reused at a later time.

[@Atharia]

how can you save these as .mdl after? this looks incomplete to me as you remain with 2-3 pictures in the end and not a material

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

I have no idea - as a general rule you save your maps as image files for import to a rendering program - that's the "pictures" you're talking about.

[@DJTallDarkHandsome]

Once again you have provided a wealth of invaluable information! Thank you so much for all that you do!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

No clue - as I haven't had this issue - sorry

[@JoyBoyR9]

i m having this issue. plz help

[@markokomljenovic4957]

You can make it seamless in Materialize also. Just go to "Show full material" and then Tile maps. Then you set your texture tiling to for example 2 or 3 (to see your edges) and set overlap x and y to zero. Then you start to play with overlaping x and y. When you are satisfied then you set Edge Falloff (higher the edge falloff, smaller the difference between edges) and voila! And in the end you chose resolution of maps (I usually use 4k) and go to Set maps. And finally you save your project and get your maps ready for PBR.

Do I have to press the Show Full Material each time? :|

[@ans8117]

Hi Justin, Which plugin/ software would you advise to make fabric materials, such as velvet and silk? Can materialize be used for this? Many thanks in advance for your reply.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Well that depends - are you trying to create the actual geometry? Or just the material that gets applied to the geometry. You can create the material with materialize, but the geometry needs a 3D modeling program

Weird that the parallax displacement is doing actual displacement (with the silhouette being deformed), I though the parallax occlusion mapping method of doing displacement didn’t do that, and that’s why you don’t get true displacement in Enscape (say brick around the corner of a house for example).
