Enjoy!

Thank you for turning me on to Materialize. Before this I had endless failures trying to create tileable textures. A couple of things I'd like to add. Materialize often does not do a good job of tiling the height map even though all the others are perfect. Even when you do get a decent height map out of it the image is limited to 8 bits which leads to obvious artifacts when used in Blender. The easiest work-around for the first issue is just don't use the generated height map. Many textures are fine without it. If you want a height map create one just to get to the tiling process. Tile the texture. Go back into Show Full Material. Delete the current height map and create a new one based on the new diffuse image. Make sure to save everything as png files. To fix the 8-bit problem load the texture into Gimp. Select Image/Precision/16-bit integer. Select Blur/Tileable Blur with a radius of 15. File/Export the resulting image as a png file.

If you want to create a ROUGHNESS MAP you can create a SMOOTHNESS map and adjust the sliders to create your desired roughness map.

Thanks for bringing this wonderful tool to our attention, Travis. Much appreciated.

TD! you are awesome dude! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention and your generosity of sharing all your knowledge and skills. Your tutes are always so helpful in my workflow!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic Travis.Thanks

Thank you Travis for sharing. Your content is always very useful and special.

Sir, you've just earned Respect from bottom of my heart for all of your tutorials..I am a student...I am learning a lot from your tutorials...thank you

Good job Travis. Many walk-throughs have a lot of extra talking and needless jokes - which at times are nice, but this was rich in content and practical for a real-world setting. Nice job buddy.

This software has been a godsend.

thanks man, straight to the point, great tutorial

thanks travis. your advices are very helpful.

thanks Travis for this beauty..,,..this made my day

Thanks for sharing!!! The property map are for packing multiple maps in each of RGB channels of a single texture to save space, for instance: R = Smoothness, G = Metalic, B = Ambient Occ, then use in an engine like Unreal4

Thank you very much for this tutorial

This is by far the winner for Free Software. Great job. I thought Awesome Bump and Crazy Bump ( Free, License, respectively) were good, but this is way better. I doubt it stays free. The maps look a lot better when you load them into Substance.

This program is a game changer. Literally...

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

best video today~ thank you Travis~

excellent!!! really, I very liked this the program. :) thanks!!!

So good as usual !!!

this is an extremely fantastic tutorial; thank you bringing this program to light. just to get my head around how it translates to octane a little bit, could/would the metallic map be used as a specular shader in the octane node editor if i wanted to create a degree of reflectance in my material (ie wet roads, mud, etc)? also, what does a normal map actually do/what effect does it have here and is there a use for the ambient occlusion map when working in octane? thanks again. you really nailed this explanation! looking forward to hearing your answers to those questions. edit: also is there any use for the edge and smoothness maps when working with octane? ta!

thanks for showing dude, thats gonna be a big timesaver!

You're my saviour

oh my god i love it!!! Thanks for showinnngg it

holy smokes i just whipped up some wicked good fabric material i have been putting of to do. so damn easy! thank you

Thank for for video, its very good !!

wow, great, thank you very much!

Thanks for Awesome video...

fabulous.

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!

thanks for this tutorial, man.

Great vid ! thanx for sharing !

Wow that’s awesome.

It does everything that most image to material apps have done. But the shape recognition slider though :O

Amazinggggg thanks por sharing!

man, this is so crazy!

It's a new fresh version of crazybump! But this is much better looking :D thank you!

Hello Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. Does Materialize exist for Mac?

should you make it tillable first before making the bump maps?

thanks helpful vid

Thank you!

ty a lot for that tut about how to use it.

Awesome. Thanks man!!!

Great thx you Travis ! Love it ! Share it ;)

now i am in a good mood

I like 😁

just a question guys in 3ds max where should I use Displacement map and normal map . are they the same? would be used in bump ? thanks for the help

thanks for this it is fantasic I do have one question I use unreal engine 4 when I make a material I cannot find where you plug the height map any ideas

I tried with a sphere and even when it looks great on Materialize, it simply doesn´t work once applied as texture. The sphere breaks when you apply the displacement and it simply doesn´t look seamless. I suspect is due to something I am doing wrong but can´t find what is yet. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your great videos!

When I open the diffuse map in the program instead of the preview photo question marks.

This is great. Can you delight the diffuse completely if you want to relight in Game Engine?

Is there Any options to create specular glossiness maps too?

Does someone know if this can be applied in 3ds Max?

great find! thanks! now if only we have a freeware that enable us to paint these map on the 3d object on specific place, you know what I mean? :)

holy shitballz...glad i clicked this video, hopefully wont hurt poliigon though after all the work they put in.

Can we convert it into 3D model (3d surfaces) & export to stl?

Can the textures created be applied to a Minecraft texture pack?

Sir can you do a tutorial with this software and element 3d logo reveal step by step? 🙏🙏🙏

Guys, I have a problem where the images won't load (or show thumbnails in the browser).. I have looked in the FAQ, but still it doesn't work after trying all the tips

0:20 the material on the right looks like Thanos?

That image would be a good rock cliff tile... When you said Palm Tree thought it was a mistake lol

Why image is not show up when open image in Diffuse map

What if you do not have octane in C4D, how to apply then?

Not on mac !! ;-(

A secure program?

If you have a problem loading images...as I did...see the FAQ on the developer's web page.

Hey there, can someone help me with a tiny problem? I can't seem to be able to open any images, whenever I try to, the icon of the image is just a red questionmark and when I open it the canvas/plane remains blank. I read on their FAQ that installing Visual C++ or trying to run the application in administrator mode might fix it but I already have the 2017 version of C++ and running it in administrator mode doesen't seems to change anything.

Hello, the application does not work in windows 11, it does not display the texture

so fuckn awesome !!! will do this

Locks up immediately when clicking the Edit button. I tried on two different systems.

There is a problem with loading images into the program! What to do?

Is it only necessary to download and run it separately?Why am I running it in win10 but it can't display the map?Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is not missing.

Hhen i put the image in diffuse map nothing hapenn, help please!

does it have to be a dslr?

Wow Great.. But I use unreal engine and not cinema 4d.. What can I do?

Intel i7 3.40 Ghz 32Gb Ram Nvidia 1060 gtx Windows 10 Pro Reinstall c++ When I open the image nothing happens What else can I do?

How can we create the roughness map...

Anyone tried it in Mojave trough WineBottler?

Soon there will be no need for paid software! Add Blender 2.8 and you virtually can say bye bye corporate crooks!

it wont load the texture. tried with all file formats.

300 in resolution is for print, for game you put 72.

It's been around for years but was only just made free/open-source.

Hey what happened to the...nevermind

I don't have Photoshop

i cant save:(

Shout out to Mr. Voeller

App is very sluggish and slow, ended up using shadermap 4

If you encountered an issue where opening an image (no matter the filetype) gets you nowhere, just unpack the ZIP somewhere and work from there. Running it from the ZIP prevents loading an image and possibly can cause other issues as well. Normally running a file from an archive should work as you are unpacking it to a temp file in the background anyway, but sometimes you can get issues like this. Now let's get to using this program!

I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure you're South African lmga.

Has anybody used it? Please share your views on it!! It would be helpful . Thanks

No Mac...NOOOOOOOOO

Take a shot everytime this guys says dslr and guys

Does NOT run on my workstation (Ryzen 9, RTX 2080ti, 64GB RAM, 4K monitor, WIN10 64bit Built 21H1). Despite recommended installation of the C++ Redistributable Pack and additional Windows Update. Software starts but no graphic files can be loaded. Attempts with the Windows compatibility mode have also brought nothing. Conclusion: Useless nerd gimmick....

Hate to burst your bubble, but this software doesn't work in win 7 64bit I'm so disappointed with 🤔🙁🤓

THIS IS NOT ATOL A TILLABLE MATERAL

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh .
