Wow, thanks for finding this little gem. I have a ton of high quality stock photos that I have been needing to convert to usable texture assets and this is heaven sent. :)
When I started watching the video I though: "Ok! this guy is really pumped with the content" and then I realized my playback speed was at 1.25x hehehe. Great video!
Just downloaded and pulled a stone texture off the net to try it out, and WOW, with just the Diffuse Map , Height map and Normal Map, it was amazing what I could create. And only in a few minutes. This software is amazing.
Can we all just hold on a second and appreciate the work from this guy i mean this youtuber right here posts everything what you need for developing your games damn man you have all my respect i love your uploads especially the unreal engine free stuff keep up the good work definitly worth to follow :) have a nice day
It's amazing how many people... pirate. when you don't pay the full price you don't quite get to appreciate. but I can't blame 'em. speaks volumes on how expensive these things can be. the only reason gamedev isn't an entirely elitistic profession is thankfully, piracy. I am really glad that free alternatives exist that aren't shit. that changes a lot of things.
@@TedThomasTT sure dude. sure. as soon as I finish my free lunch and hug the rainbow, ALL the tools will become free. if that was really the case, then what would be the point of your comment? "a free tool and a free video?" surely you meant "a tool like any other and a video like any other?" no? if all tools are free, it obviously boils down to their quality and user experience. why are you bothered with complaints then? you don't seem to understand the economy of gamedev very well. everything is free as in "free-to-play". after a while you either pay to stop grinding or you pay to overcome the paywall. if it's truly free it's either: a) shit, or b) just an entry level, and there are other means of monetization just around the corner. and I wouldn't be really bothered with paying per se, if the prices weren't tweaked in such a way to safeguard the elitism within the industry. as a result, good code is rarely, if ever shared, good tools are extremely pricey, highly-engineered solutions are trade secrets, patents or market commodities, and our coding paradigms are 40+ years old -- FOR A REASON -- so that nobody can surpass a productivity of a sweatshop with around 100 developers and artists on a regular payroll. and when coding games, you need to be a know-it-all who doesn't sleep, doesn't eat, doesn't let in any sorts of distractions, and basically don't have a life, if you really have to stay competitive. it's either that or you strike a gold vein which isn't a pragmatical or sane business practice. normal people can't do this without burning down, but industry will remunerate you somewhat, but won't treat you any better. on the other hand, they will never let go of any resources, tools, or know-hows to improve the dev cycle or quality of life for anyone. please don't get me started with your fallacies. the reason why we have an indie scene at all, is because one corporation plunged its dick into another, by intentionally cultivating a varied community of equally-apt developers that made another's corporation product range look obsolete -- all while some other bystanding corporations took notice, and made a mental note to steal from such "unprotected" community and never invest into RnD. it's basically a market move that has effectively evolved into "generous" opportunities for small people, and at the same time provided flesh blood transfusion to the increasingly stuttering publishers. like spermatozoids, some developers actually come through all of this as a winners. sadly, this ain't true for millions others. possibly because only a tiny margin is incubated to succeed (I know appstore does this) to fuel the flames of enthusiasm, just like a lottery winner would. and while all of that is happening, you are free to proceed living in a la-la-land.

THANK YOU! Now as for your Edit issue, just click Create again and your settings will still be in place that you originally set up so you can just go back to tweaking away at things!
That means there is no real reason why the tool has to be windows only, beyond the developer perhaps just not having the time to dedicate towards maintaining mac and/or linux releases/exports.
@@CerealKiller "(Not that it takes much effort nowadays)" Be that as it may, if the developer (team perhaps, or especially a single developer) is small enough and the tool is big/complex enough with large enough user base it can still be overwhelmingly hard enough a job to support multiple platforms that no matter how easy it has become to support them it just might not make sense to support more platforms, at least not until the developer has the resources for doing so.

Very helpful, I usually try to extrapolate the other maps from the diffuse using a lot of nodes, and always end up missing some features like the blur. I've used other softwares before, but this being free and really complete is mindblowing. Thanks for the video!
This looks super interesting. Lucky I had this in my suggested videos! After using it little bit it feels a bit frustrating. With little tweaks it would be really great. For example when I am adjusting a texture I'd much prefer to see the end result and not the texture I am adjusting. This makes it difficult to see how my changes are actually effecting the end result until I press show full material button. I don't really how care about how the height map itself looks. I only care about how the end result looks with that height map. Maybe the software can not do live editing of the textures but I'd really love if it could do that. Or maybe there is a switch somewhere to make it do that? Also the PCOS buttons should be replaced with either text or icons. I had no idea what the P or C buttons even do. Lots of free cc0 icon sets available in the internet, no need to use letters. The file open menu also can not handle it if you try to type your folder address into it and press enter (for example type e:\gamefiles\photos\manholecovers\). It just opens nothing. Instead you need to use the mouse to click though folders.
That is exactly what I am thinking. Some even more complex suggestions would be to edit the Heightmap with brushes. Like you would edit Terrain for example. The manhole cover in this video is a little bit deformed in the middle. Would be nice to fix this with a brush. The next thing would be to create multiple heightmaps and blend them together. Like the detailed heightmap he created would be nice for the text on the manhole cover while the other heightmap was better in general. So it would be nice to create two heightmaps and then blend them together with a brush.
I've actually been using this for the past couple of days. It's not just for games or course. You can generate the textures and use them for painting your models with 3D-Coat's Smart Materials. Then of course it could be used for film and animation as well as games.
good choice on the assets xD this is actually a manhole cover of my hometown Bremen :D .. you put some coins in there for charity and then you will hear the sounds of a rooster, a cat, a dog and a donkey - the "Bremer Stadtmusikanten" (Bremen Town Musicians) The text says: Wilhelm Kaisen Civic-Charity of the free hanseatic city of Bremen :) "Dont scream, dont cry, dont growl, dont say EEAA put smth. into the bremer hole"
I like to mod textures in games and this looks like it will be a very useful tool. I've been looking for a tool exactly like this for a while and the fact that it is _completely_ free and not a trial version (which is NOT actually free) is an added bonus. Now I just need a free tool that will allow me to create textures from scratch, as I find lining things up and creating textures in Photshop to be a bit of a chore.

Great soft - just downloaded it, tested for creation of maps for slate stone I found and wanted to use as a texture, now off to Unreal Engine to test it :) thanks for highlighting this gem for us!
ouazrou oualid, try installing fonts with winetricks. (i had to do this) also, make sure you're using a 64 bit wine prefix since materialize is 64 bit only. (was already doing this) you may also need to insall visual c++ (vcrun) through winetricks though it was working for me without it. not sure what other differences i may have between our wine setups. i mean... i do also have proton installed so maybe that helped for some reason... but i'm also running antergos not ubuntu. so the package i grabbed off of the AUR may be different than what you've got.
ouazrou Try running it through playonlinux if you haven't. It sets up a pretty decent default and lets you switch between versions of wine easily, and it lets you install various packages like runtime files just like winetricks but with a gui. You can also run a debug mode from there that will usually tell you what you're missing. Good luck.
@ouazrou oualid Same here, although copying the font file from a github repo as @carrot CARTOON said did add text to all the buttons and windows (I did not put a capital on Arial.TFF, just arial.TFF)

uhhh.. here we go that youtube recommended me after 2 years in field of 3d and now i find something that doesn;t heart me while creating diiferent texture maps thanks dude
👍Wonderful tool👍 I think it's the best tool to convert all maps from single image instead of photoshop and other software. The other benefit is it actually gives you a result in real time & it's free of cost. Thanks for making this tool. It saved my precious time which I can optimize into other things. Again 😀 THANKS A LOT 😀
Been looking for such a tool for ages m8 especially normal map generation and RGB channel data packing are priceless, its so time consuming to do it manually in GIMP, here you have it all at your finger tips and speeds up workflow 10 times faster. This is what programming is all about for me, outside games and movies etc projects, programming is all about automation, no matter how you look at it, every single program out there uses math, hardware and other concepts/physics etc to automate stuff and thats what i want to see more. Im sick of all these programs that ask people for 50-200$ subscription fees just so i can automate a normal map generation, RGB packing and painting some decals like Quixel/Substance wtf too expensive.
I've become a huge fan of Substance Painter for its ability to provide Photo Shop tools for painting 3D models. It's a really great tool. But! It's not really that great when you want to create realistic textures for wall materials and building parts (mainly levels for first-person interiors). I know you mentioned Substance B2M, but I really was hoping not to drop a bunch more cash at the moment. Then you show this. I can't even wait to play with this. I think I'm going to find all sorts of weird junk outside to combine and photograph so that I can throw them into this program just to see what comes out. Should be pretty cool!
If you're gonna pay 20$ for this, get MindTex 2. It is a more polished feeling and looking version of this with a few additional features like adding your own preview model
the metalness map should mostly be black and white, no in betweens and it should only be white on clean metal. things like rust or dirt on metal should be black on the metalness map too. correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe substance offers many images to pick from and mix, which is why it is so expensive. would be awesome if materialize could get a similar library through user created content. that said, this program looks amazing nonetheless.
Thats not 100% correct. The metallic can be interpreted as generic "reflectivity" as well; a value that is not really binary. Most "metals" are conductors and reflect away most of the incoming light but absorbing certain wavelengths (eg. adding a tint, like in case of copper or gold), whereas reflective non-metals mostly reflect the light uniformly across the whole spectrum. Good example of partial reflection is wet material; when material gets soaked in water the material's reflectivity increases. Because of energy conservation, the diffuse component is reduced at the expense of specularity/reflectivity and the material will look darker (as less light reaches the surface before being reflected away).
The metallic channel determines whether a surface is a metal or a dielectric, not how reflective it is. You can have highly reflective dielectrics (e.g. shiny plastic) and highly matte metals (e.g. brushed steel). It is reasonable to have grey areas on a metallic map as it depends on the real-world value of the specific metal. However, you would generally have a uniform shade of grey rather than gradients and blends because a part of your model is either made of metal or it isn't, but the grey value depends on the type of metal. BTW, and I'm being pedantic here and I'm sure Simpson realises this, but the metallic map needs to be greyscale anyway to anti-alias between the light areas and black areas.
This tool is actually amazing. I used to do my maps with the Blender cycles nodes

I think I'm going to find all sorts of weird junk outside to combine and photograph so that I can throw them into this program just to see what comes out. Should be pretty cool!
Metalness is basically about whether the diffuse color influences the specular or not.
WOOOOOT Shaders for Unity. Thi is gonna come in handy when I figure out how to make my room for VR Chat.
Amazing program, just tried it, fast and easy to use. Thank you for download link.
This warms my heart
Dayum! Am I glad this is in my suggestion ❤
This is awesome! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! :-)
I would be happy to pay 20 dollars for this. Michael Voeller needs to give me a way to pay him for this.
Hrishikesh Andurlekar just get B2M
I would agree with you if the tool would be more polished. There are still some minor flaws, so I complement the fact they made it free for now.
If you're gonna pay 20$ for this, get MindTex 2. It is a more polished feeling and looking version of this with a few additional features like adding your own preview model
I don't know how to thank you, Lucky I had this in my suggested videos!
omg I was looking for SO LONG!!! on Bump map software! BUT THIS IS MUCH MORE THEN I EVEN HOPED FOR HOLY SHIT DUDE THANKS !!!!!! :D
Thank you for sharing this. this program looks very promising. :O!
Live Normal is a camera/photo tk material tool for your phones! This one can be sent to your google drive. Although it doesn't have many options...
Man, this is a great help. Thanks!
I am amazed... The software is awesome.
Wow, this is amazing, thx man.
God damn good tool! very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the runthrough. This thing is awesome.
Thank you so much for this! Helped me a lot with my project
the metalness map should mostly be black and white, no in betweens and it should only be white on clean metal. things like rust or dirt on metal should be black on the metalness map too. correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe substance offers many images to pick from and mix, which is why it is so expensive. would be awesome if materialize could get a similar library through user created content. that said, this program looks amazing nonetheless.
Indies devs will flock to this over subtance. no doubt.
Thats not 100% correct. The metallic can be interpreted as generic "reflectivity" as well; a value that is not really binary. Most "metals" are conductors and reflect away most of the incoming light but absorbing certain wavelengths (eg. adding a tint, like in case of copper or gold), whereas reflective non-metals mostly reflect the light uniformly across the whole spectrum.
Good example of partial reflection is wet material; when material gets soaked in water the material's reflectivity increases. Because of energy conservation, the diffuse component is reduced at the expense of specularity/reflectivity and the material will look darker (as less light reaches the surface before being reflected away).
@@PiesliceProductions no, your generic reflectivity is specularity or roughness.
The metallic channel determines whether a surface is a metal or a dielectric, not how reflective it is. You can have highly reflective dielectrics (e.g. shiny plastic) and highly matte metals (e.g. brushed steel).
It is reasonable to have grey areas on a metallic map as it depends on the real-world value of the specific metal. However, you would generally have a uniform shade of grey rather than gradients and blends because a part of your model is either made of metal or it isn't, but the grey value depends on the type of metal.
BTW, and I'm being pedantic here and I'm sure Simpson realises this, but the metallic map needs to be greyscale anyway to anti-alias between the light areas and black areas.
Love the property map option. ❤️
Very useful for UE
