Hi everyone! Let me know what other kind of Materialize tutorials you'd like to see in the comments below! :)

What a fabulous tool! Thank you! i am a surface pattern designer and discovering some seamless tiles I have created aren't so seamless is frustrating and time consuming. Just by a stroke of luck found your video. Thank you so much!! After 3 tries I got a few that worked, woohoo! I will be letting all my compadres know :)

Thank you so much for this video. I am finally able to create high quality seamless textures a project I have been working on intermittently for over a year.

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. Happy Blending.

This tool has been a great find, I'm very happy that someone took the time to present it in digestible clips. Thanks.

I did everything you did, How ever nothing ever nothing ever loads. What am I doing wrong?

[SpicySpinosaurus]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! You made everything so simple and easy to follow for someone that only just discovered this kind of software existed. I've not bothered looking into it until now because I assumed I would need photoshop. So when I did look into it and found Materialize I was excited but daunted at the idea of again learning a new program. But you made it so simple and within 20 minutes I now have a seamless shag carpet texture. It's not perfect but it's good enough for what I need it for. I am so grateful and will definitely continue to watch your videos! 🥰

It 'seams' like a great application. :)

Your tutorials are Thank you extra for this! Still learning about texture maps and came across this vid, and it literally saved my rendering life. Keep rocking Justin, your content is the greatest! :)

[MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

Great video! Thought it would take me a lot longer to learn Seamless Texturing.

[vitormedeiros]

Very thanks from Brazil my friend, you rock!!!

[TheHillsInTheUK]

Really appreciate your time creating this video. It was very helpful.

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

[HoneybunHero]

This tutorial and program just cured every bit of frustration I had today!

[Fenand]

Been learning so much from how to use this programme, and understanding the different aspects and it has been really very clear and easy to follow in the instructions.

Having a technical issues that post manipulation the bmp image files are being shown as black even though in the programme they are clear?

Is this something that you might be able to cover in a short video, of What to do "if that happens if X or Y happens or doesn't happen, what to do"? i am sure that I am not the only one who wishes we could just turn around to ask as we would a teacher!

Thanks again for doing so many amazing videoes Justin!

[tristanschiebaan]

Some super helpful tips cheers for your effort 👌🏼

[RedzwanulHuq]

Great one.
Where can i get high quality brick texture? Any suggestions?

[nazishzabih]

Why am I not able to import diffuse map? Have tried in Jpeg as well as png format but it doesn't show up .

[spacepd]

Is there a program that does this but ALSO lets you paint pixels? These programs try to do too much with tiling....but what if I want to hand paint my seamless tiling bitmaps whilst seeing the multi-tile version update real-time? Any way to do this? Thanks!

[musmar]

Thanks mate! this is a great tutorial. Whenever I have a problem in SU you are there to solve.
