Materialize | Full Easy to Follow Guide 

Another great Tutorial! You always get it to the Point and it is very relaxing listen to your voice. Keep up the good work!!

This video taught me more about creating and understanding texture maps then going to 4+ years of college for game design! Thank you!!! Also I love this tool! its kind of insane that its free

It's a powerful little program. I spent the whole night yesterday playing with it, and like you say it's really tricky when you got an image which has varying tones.

Your tutorial is great. Thank you!!

Great ,I was waiting for it 😀

Very helpful, thank you for sharing. Would love to see a layering approach to this, like for example making multiple textures on this software and layering them in blender. Substance alchemy style

I just recently found your channel, but I'm just getting more and more impressed. Then, today, I go looking for some in-depth stuff on Materialize, and wouldn't you know it... It's you. :) Thank you. If I wasn't already subscribed, I'd subscribe now. :)

That's an amazing software ! Thank you for the tip, dude ;)

Thanks for sharing this knowledge!

This is very useful for me, thanks a lot!

Nice presentation as ever... The frequencies referred to in the EQ panel are in the *space* of the image. High frequency components will be edges, fine details... low frequency, smoothly changing areas of tone. (In whichever channel you happen to be looking at). It's actually more intuitive than you might think: we use the same language to describe frequencies in sound and image: for example.. a 'crisp' sound, a 'crisp' image.. both referring to high frequencies. Just as any sound can be represented as / built from the sum of a set of simple sinusoidal waves of varying phase, amplitude, and frequency, so can any image, but in 2D. Search terms would include: 'image processing', 'Fourier transform' 'frequency domain'. I tried looking up a nice snappy illustration for you, but everything I've come across so far dives straight into the maths :(

Thank you for this!

Prima video! thanks!

So grateful you went to all the effort of making this - thank you! Enormously helpful. Cheers. :}

This is the coolest program ever!;)

You are amazing for doing this.

This was awesome! Realistic bricks and wood here I come.

Thx 4 that gr8 tut ;)

Thank you so much for this video...!!!

Thank you!

About to take my Cube to a whole new level. ( Tried to do this using GIMP , forget THAT ! ) Now if I can figure how to apply maps in Blender 2.81 But THANK YOU SO MUCH Grant for the insight !!!

just found out you can also start with a normal map and convert it to a height map, so useful!

Never heard of this software....but should check it out!

Great stuff

Nice one thank you. What about the Specular / Roughness and Bump maps? Can those be made with materialise?

So the smoothness map is a glossyness map. But to use it in Blender you would load the smoothness map and then use a color invert node and plug it into the roughness of the Principled Shader?

great tutorial really helpful! can we do this in image sequences?

How do you export all the maps to use in something like Blender?

Can this be used in Photoshop CS6 Extended an Lightwave 3D version 2018? How would I transfer the material for me to use/make as a 3D image?

Nice video I like it. I just dont understand why so many people in the comments are requesting a video to show how to upload the textures in blender. There are like a million of videos already on RU-vid explaining how.

do you know how to use the unreal "shader pack" with the materialize software? on the materialize site there is an unreal and a unity shader pack fro the software, but I can't find any instructions.

Great tutorial! I seem to encounter a really funky problem when launching Materialize: it opens just fine all the controls and settings are there and can be messed with, but I can't bring any light in. Meaning my panel stays completely black when I launch the programm, I can see my diffuse map in small preview and on the black panel, but in 'show full material' it is all black. I have tried the rotate light control option but to no success. I am a bit lost here and have not found anyone with this particular problem so far. Any ideas? Thank you so much in advance!

nice.....great......

Can you do workflow for other renderers like vray and redshift . Is it only game engine textures ?

Merry Crispness!

missing specularity map and Roughness? what instead can to use like a specular and Roughness in blender and unity from Materialize?

Is it possible to make roughness maps with materialize, for non-metallic textures an things like that?

I was sure this must be a paid program. Very nice. Seems there is only a Windows version at this time, and no versions for Mac or Linux. The final result (pre-crazy bump map) was better than I expected, but it seems there are still issues with reversing whites and blacks. I would have expected that to be a feature of each node. Is there a way to take, say the height map for instance, into Photoshop for some editing, then load it into Materialize with the original diffuse in order to calculate the Normal map from there, or does it only allow you to use a height map generated by the software? If that were the case I suppose you could start a new project with an edited height map as your diffuse, make no changes in the Height node and then generate a normal map, reflection map, or whichever other you're having difficulty in creating with the sliders.

How do you make the font bigger in Materialize?

very cool

Great, free app. Hope they add the option to choose bit depth on output.

I can't figure out how to save a project. When I try to there is no option to save only 'select', like selecting a folder location. Is anyone else having this problem?

Is it possible to make shaders with internal python script in the blender to do procedural texture? without external programs ...

i cant understand how you set size 1024 for your texture or how can i set any other size for texture in this program?

Great video. Is there any good tutorials on how to use this along with Substance Painter? I purchased it from steam as a stand alone because but I didn’t want to purchase Substance Alchemist through Adobe’s Substance Suite.

@grant Is Materialize still your go-to for creating bump-maps, ordo you have any new tips for 2022?

I'm trying to open an texture and doesn't happen anything. Nothing shows up. In the image Open window some of the thumbnails appears, and almost all appears as a "?" icon. Is there a fix for this? Or a specifc image type (size, resolution, etc) that Materialize accepts?

As part of a Game PBR ground texture creation requirement (ie; trainz 2019) I need to add the height map into the alpha channel of the normal map. How can I do this?

Thank you! But can you show how how to connect this on the shader? newb here thanks

Thank you dude!

How i can make the material bigger so i can avoid the repeating issue? Repond please and i hope you get my piont

tips for flesh with leathery armor?

New version not show up the image when open the image in diffuse tab just black sceen.

is there a specific shader to get the exact same looking mat on UNITY, i know it's built on unity but when import it still doesn't look the same

Materialize + Blender + Unity = Endless opportunities!

Hello, can you please tell me how to use this with Blender 2.80 for making a model? Or using it in Blender to apply to cover a model in Blender? I tried to install into Blender the zip file but it won't load into the software is it a separate software? I thought it was an addon? Please advise me soonest.

Hello! can you make a tutorial on how to import materials from blender to unreal engine?

thanks

Thanks for the guide! Helped me a lot to decide which software to use for texture maps. Now I don't even know why I used CrazyBump, this should be more popular - such a good control over textures and pretty nice UI and preview of material as well AND for FREE! This is great!

what does the "p" button do? in the main interface area...

For some reason when I do it on a sphere it looks great on the program but it doesn´t work once I use the texture on another software like C4D or Blender. It´s not seamless anymore, :( Any ideas?

Where do you set up the edge map in the pbr in blender?

Hi, I try to download the Materialize from your link, but it give me an error 404. Do you have any idea what is it about?

how we can add this all maps to blender 2.80 ???? PLEASE ANSWER!!

How do i get a displacement map from it?

Where do u find this software?

Need some assistance. I think there is a bug or I'm doing something wrong here. I am working on a 3D human model. I worked about an hour on the settings to get the skin looking just perfect. Went to save the maps in the chosen directory and the Select button remained grayed out. I even gave up and closed the program, loosing all my precious work and tried again with just less settings. NOPE, still grayed out Select button to save out the maps and project. SO this is no good to me. I watched the end of your video a couple more times, checked what I was doing but I'm doing everything correctly from what I know. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Does anybody know how to fix the no loading image problem? Reinstalled Visual C++ 2013, but didn't help. Got all the versions of C++ but yet images don't load

Sirf how to apply these maps in blender

is the smoothness map and roughness map the same?

how to load all that maps on blender?

Por que no puedo guardarlo . No me da la opción de save

Next video you should show how to set it up on blender

Hi awesome vid, can materialize make an image seamless or do you make the texture seamless in other software and then import to materialize? Thanks!!

I want to solve the problem, please

I feel like getting the normal map from the height map is causing you some issues. That normal map looks far too blurry, even with the increase in contrast. Which I get you would want for a height map, but you definitely don't want that for a normal map

What do you guys do with the edge map? I can't seem to find much if any info on the subject

Can you use these materials in Cinema 4D?

the images refuse to open no matter what image i choose it just refuses to let me work with it

I have a problem that he does not recognize the pictures and does not import them

Good job. Thank you. The app still has some bugs which should be fixed.

A secure program?

Materialize make material for Cinema 4d ?

I can't get this thing to open nothing. Why?

why does the color change,tho?

Y in 360 p?

Noob questions.. how to export these files lol can't find the simple button

would be great if you completed the guide in Blender :D

Is it really a guide when the author does not know what the controls does?

my name is oliver hill

Not for Mac users!!!

Hey, Mr. Abbitt. One question. The property Map is pretty much the same as an ARM map, right?

Next video you should show how to set it up on blender
