Material Converter

Material Converter is a standalone application that lets you perform easy, automated material conversions from various material scanners and their formats to Optitex material format.

Starting from version 1.4 (installed as part of O21.2), the Material Converter can create materials using Texture Maps.

The Material Converter supports Vizoo xTex/U3M/U3MA formats and Mura Vision Json formats.

The tool helps visualize your fabrics better using the latest material scanners outputs, and enables true-to-life rendering based on your fabric library.

By selecting either an xTex, U3M, U3MA or ZIP file, you can run the Material Converter and get:

Direct PDS Installation
Converted files for IT or a shareable folder standalone installer
Zipped version for storage

The output is a cross-rendering solution that you can apply to the new material, to visualize the fabric in OpenGL, HQR, and PR3D.

Note:

See here for free testing material from the U3M webpage: https://www.u3m.info/#examples.
Material Converter now supports Json files with textures from Mura Vision. For more, see https://www.muravision.com.
Material Converter v1.1 and up (O21.0) supports U3MA and U3M version 1.1.
Turning Texture Maps into Material
One of the O21.0 benefits is the superior material appearance in Photo Realistic Rendering. If you are using custom materials (shaders) you need to recreate these materials using the new O21.0 Material Converter. version.
