    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.

      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.

  • @Rumin24

    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.

  • @korpen3770
    @korpen3770 Год назад

    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.

      @ChippWalters 5 лет назад +4

      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) ruclips.net/video/saEmsjpzpF0/видео.html

    The menus were so small I had troubles seeing them. High DPI/high resolution display. This (no audio...) youtube helped me fix it: ruclips.net/video/6WwcPuRSe4c/видео.html (sorry if this is obvious or mentioned in this video and I overlooked it. Thanks Grant for this very helpful video.

    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.

      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.
