Just a heads up for anyone using this on unreal, the smoothness map needs to be inverted to use it as a roughness map. White is rough, black is smooth.
Good point. Same for blender :)
@1 conscience 0 dimension just reading up about this program and been wondering if this looked good in unreal ??
Can you invert it in the software (I can't find where) - or do you have to do it in a photo app?
Just a heads up to anyone using in UE4... you can use the smoothness map and connect to the 1-x node (OneMinus) in the material editor to invert the Materialize smoothness map to a roughness map.
this is something pro artists hide behind a huge paywall inside there tutorials on gumroad etc xD. U sir a awesome!
:)
This is a literal godsend for me right now. This works just as well for painted UVs if you are using images as stecils to paint onto objects. This works well to generate the maps that would come with this!
Nice tutorial, Again!! I'm ready for the next full one about Materialize. Thanks
i forgot how to use Substance painter and i'm not starting from zero again. Your software just saved my life. Thank you. Even as a 3D artist for ober 8 years, i find new things every now and then.
Super helpful, concise, and tons of good info. Really appreciate you making this! Cheers.
Thanks :)
The ideal situation is to take your own photos shot under very mild lighting conditions. High noon over-cast is perfect.
that's an excellent point which i should have mentioned
HIGH NOON
Good job introducing this new software! I am sure it will bring some different audiences to your channel.
Thanks Nalon :)
Great video. Straight to the point. I've just started using Quixel, but this looks really simple to use :)
finally..free crazybump replacement!
Yes
This is a super useful program, would never find it without your help
Thanks
Thanks a lot! This will help me save some time with my portfolio, not having to do everything with Substance Designer/Painter !
I think it's pretty similar to one of the substance programmes
instans meshes and this one are real treasures, thanks!
yeah it's great that these things are now available to us
Fantastic introduction, thanks!!
Great video!
Love how you tested on a handpainted texture, I was kinda wondering how it would work on my brick texture I've been working on.
Yeah i think i could have got it to work better with a bit more time spent
Well I'm sure you'll give it another try at some point. :D
I can't wait for in-depth tutorial.
Yes I'll hopefully get to that in the next few days
This program works WAY better than the others that I've tried.
:)
Just found this.. GREAT WORK.. subscribed and now trawling your vids - thanks.
Thanks
I had the “I can’t load my image” problem…30 seconds of watching your tutorial I figured it out and made my own Anime style texture map in a snap. Simply put, you are the man.👍🏽
Good to know you found out how to fix the loading image problem, but will you share the trick please ?
Click on the O for open on any of the boxes
Thanks for the tutorial. Super helpful!
Thanks :)
Well, it's needed to be tested. used Crazybump for a long time. Thanks for the information.
:)
Awesome piece of software and nice tutorial! 👍👌
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this useful video.
Very helpful, Thanks!
amazing mate , really helped!!!
Thank you, Grant.
thank you so much! You´re awesome!!
Thanks. Helped a lot🙂
Thank you, nice program!
:)
Can't wait for the full guide, I've used this a little but still confused as to all the options.
Yes it is a bit confusing in places
if your pbr textures won't show up on your file here's the solution to fix it.
You can do it manually.
first on materialize you will see an "s" on each of your maps
press the "s" on which map you wanna save then find a picture any kind of pic that you want to overwrite it on. then do it for all of your maps.
keep note on materialize you can't save them by creating a folder cause if you try your maps won't show idk why tho, you can only save your maps by overwriting it on a picture.
Thanks Grant
Can you do tutorial on roughness PBR workflow. Also with specific renderers like vray and redshift
super video - enough info to get started and to much
Thanks man
Thank you.
Nice I wasn't sure if you got my email about this program. I knew you'd be able to explain how everything works.
:)
I try to follow your instructions for material cosl stone.
But why the coal is shiny (like have mettalic surface) ?
How can we ignore to avoid mettalic effect ?
2nd question ....
I need combination of Emissive (as Red), Roughness (as Green) and Ambient (as Blue) which are merged into parameter map...
But how we can create EMISSIVE MAP ?
hi, I was wondering about aliasing filter for Normal mapping... I am installing the software , I need to check it out for my testing if it works for my project, the software is look wonderful and easy to use. thx for your tutorial.
I have not had any issues as long as the texture is a good resolution
Thanks!really!
From my tests, image must get squared before import it inside Materialize otherwise the "seamless" feature will keep some hard seams nonetheless.
thanks. Useful info :)
The built in bump vector are not good enough?... I usually use bump vector with image texture
great video sir
any copyright or watermark from this software?
None
tank bro
cool tutorial
Thanks 😀
What about the other maps to incorporate into Blender, like the metallic map, smoothness map, Edge Map and even the AO map?
Metallic should be usually a black and white texture determining whats metal or not, you'll have to specifiy yourself
Wow to make speculars this program ?
I noticed that when i bring the height maps into blender, there's a lot of blockiness/pixelation going on which i suspect is the bit depth of the bumps materialize creates, because when i zoom in to the height image i notice lots of banding and in blender they show up as "wavy" pixelated lines. Is there a way to work around this Grant? I tried running the maps through PS, messing with the bit depth and blurring as to remove the banding but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Love your videos.
The file type can make a difference
Does anyone know how to use or install the UE4 plugin for this?
Just save material and use it in UE4
Save maps import them in ue4. create a material, head to material editor and use those maps to make the material.
thanks for the this video...
:)
Great! :)
Thanks :)
Are create someone for linux package, from unity, have project for uniy, are try someone to buld program for linux platform?( dont work in wine)😥
If you read the other comments someone has mentioned that they got it to work
combine this with scan data and you have pbr scans instantly! cant believe its free :)
Yes excellent stuff. Amazing what is out there and available
Is this program still worth learning or has a better program to make textures like this been released?
no that i know of
how do you export the texture? the most important part?
How do I turn the texture into a file and move it to a folder
can anyone explain me the p c o s? p for preview, c for create o for open and s for save? or what?
I can't remember now been a while since I used this software
im thinking about getting the CGAxis 8k pack which is 49$ for a short time - is it of any use guys? did someone get it?
They can be incredibly useful so possibly worth it if you use those type of textures a lot
For some reason I'm unable to save loike Grant does at the very end. I selected PNG then save project then created a folder and then named the file and clicked select but when I go to windows explorer there's nothing in the folder I created. Weird
lots of people have had problems unfortunately
i have an issue, textures are not loading when i open it
Try installing the newest Visual C++, then move the program file in program files, and then make a file in the materialize file - and then put your images there. then open the images from the file and you should be good to go.
Can u show how to perfectly do seamless, it never works perfectly no matter what I do
I even used a square image
yes its not always straight forward with this i will see if i get time in future :)
Hello I have a problem for some reason the program won't show my images and won't load them either. For some reason they are just white files
yeah lots are now having this problem
Please do wooden planks, I can't fin it anywhere
How do you make a displacement map from the Materialize output? It doesn't seem to be covered in your other videos just assumes you have it. Or am I being blind?
its like a really soft bump. but not sure if i cover that in other videos really
@@grabbitt gotcha
As a Win 11 user, I cannot see the textures in the program. How can I solve the process of seeing textures?
What do the P, C, O & S buttons do?
paste copy open save
materialize won't open images. They won't show a preview in the file browser for it. Any idea what might be causing this?
a couple of people have said this but ive not had the problem myself so dont know sorry
@@grabbitt i have this issue and its sad
Wow...v2.79 looks so out of date now. I wonder what you'd have to do to do this in Blender. The normal map would the tricky bit, imo. Maybe an add-on. Pablo Dobarro would probably have this done in a weekend.
true :)
Just subscribe. You are fukn awesome.. thank you...
thanks very much :)
Hhen i put the image in diffuse map nothing hapenn, help please!
Yes some people have had problems unfortunately and it may just be a hardware incompatibility issue
same
Good video. JPG's should never be used as a source for textures though
Indeed that was kind of my point to show the power of this type of software. Low resolution not square...
@@grabbitt I'll be watching to software closely. I think it has amazing potential.
I would disagree. In fact I would state, "Lossy JPGs at low resolutions do not perform well as a source for professional PBR textures." I have created many PBR textures with huge JPGs which I'm sure nobody could spot without rendering a huge sample of the image at a ridiculous resolution. IOW, today's smartphones can create some amazing images for use as PBR textures. Not to mention the height map and several other maps were extremely destructive (blurring, data compressing, etc..) to the JPG artifacts (if there were any-- couldn't see any because of the overall noise in the original image and the limited resolution of the video).
Also, I might add Grant did tile the original image a number of times, thus increasing the virtual resolution of the final map-- which is always a good thing for small textures.
One last point I'd like to make, while this is a great PBR tool, I think the tiling algorithm (blurring the tileable edges) isn't as powerful as something like PixPlant, which does a superb job of creating tiles (but not near as good for PBR) ua-cam.com/video/saEmsjpzpF0/v-deo.html
@@ChippWalters Thanks for the info :)
sir having problem loading the file texture, should be change the thumbnail too?
i'm not sure its been a long time since i used the programme
@@grabbitt JUST WANNA USE IT BUT STOCK IN NOT LOADING THE IMAGE
Hello Just a quick one. I've loaded the program and all the photos are showing all blank. Is there same thing I'm missing here?
not sure sorry
@@grabbitt could it be the latest version has a bug in it?
@@grabbitt I found out what was wrong with it i had to run it in administrator. Witch it should of already been running it.
When I click show full material it just shows a black box D:
Not sure what's happening there sounds like a major glitch
Its better then B2M?
I've not yet used bitmap to material but i imagine it uses the same techniques.
Not sure what's wrong but I can't open any image.
It show all my files and folders but no images:(
yes it seems to be a bug for many these days
How do you build the program?
I think you can go into unity and do some cool stuff. but i dont know much about that end of htings
@@grabbitt Oh, I see, you bring this into unity or something. I thought maybe it was a standalone you build from Github.
anybody know why its impossible to save out the images ????
it should be fine
for some reason nothing happens when I try to save
not sure why sorry :(
I can't open any image. Please Help me
I'm not sure what's happening there it worked fine for me sorry
Hi Grant, do you use this : boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/downloads.php? thanks
yes that's the one
This is going to change lots of time ,they made materilze to open source :)
Yes and will probably get new features and build a bit like blender has all going well :)
This, Blender, and im sure there are other great programs that will contribute to a high level, fully free 3D pipeline. !!
Hi, is there any alternative to this for Linux?
not as simple unfortunately but there are programmes like crazy bump you could try
@@grabbitt thanks 👍
This is like Eevee for texturing... :O
yeah.
Does anyone know if this program can run on Linux?
I think it's for Windows alone
Well, some Windows programs can be run though Wine on Linux. I might try that.
@@BlenderBurst oh, go ahead and post the result in comment :)
I believe it will run on Linux if you have Unity and run the program from there.
Thanks @@NalonB
but my jpeg image is not opening
I'm Facing a problem
Diffuse Map Doesn't Load
yes lots of bugs unfortunately
@@grabbitt I Fixed It Today by Downloading Microsoft Visual C++.
It seems Strange but I could load the Image
can't open any pictures...
I guess there is no official Mac version, right :( ?
:(
Help. The Texture wont show, not even in preview
not sure sorry
@@grabbitt had the wrong version of vcredist. got the correct version which fixed it.
EVERYONE'S TYPING...
:)
i cant save it
not sure
cant save it
Many seem to have this problem but I don't know the answer
cant load images
not sure what's happening there. It was no problem for me. Maybe the format? if you solve the issue please post the solution thanks
@@grabbitt thanks for answer i solved my problem.The setup file i downloaded i extract it to a c:/ file and it works. not working if u extract it to desktop
The menus were so small I had troubles seeing them. High DPI/high resolution display. This (no audio...) youtube helped me fix it: ua-cam.com/video/6WwcPuRSe4c/v-deo.html (sorry if this is obvious or mentioned in this video and I overlooked it. Thanks Grant for this very helpful video.
So after making all the maps, I can't save the project as the "Select" button is grayed out. Anyone else have this issue?
EDIT: For anyone having this issue, just save the Maps individually by pressing the "S" button on each map.
its just a guess, but maybe try opening the application as administrator. sometimes it can solve these kind of issues
Yeah, I did that, but it didn't work. I also tried running the application from another drive, but that too didn't work.
I was having this problem for a while and found out it's because you have to type a name in the bar or save is greyed out.
You're right, just tried that and it works.
Application immediately crashes on me
maybe report it to the creator
Hmmmm... I wonder why someone hasn't created these as a Blender material filter node add on.
that would be very nice.
Hi. I have downloaded the program, but I can´t visualize anything when I first select a texture for the diffuse. Any ideas what may be happening there? Thanks a lot.
I'm afraid is been a while since I have used this
Click on the 'Show Full Material' button below the Smoothness Map. And to get the Normal Map to enable Create button, Create button click in the Height Map box, click Set as Height Map on the Height From Diffuse (panel on left below the map boxes up top). Now you can Create button click on the Normal Map box area.
