Start with a flat image and build fabric, wall art, marble, wood veneer, wall paint or metal. Choose the surface detail and finish, then bring the material into your 3D scene.
01 / Begin
Choose the idea and material.
Start with a flat pattern, artwork, marble or veneer image, or a plain colour you have the right to use. Choose Fabric, Wall art, Marble, Wood, Wall paint or Metal.
02 / Prepare
Set its true size and repeat.
Prepare the image, set the real-world size, and make the surface seamless before you build its detail.
03 / Craft
Choose what the surface becomes.
Build the relief, stitching, weave and finish while judging the result in the real-size 3D preview.
04 / Export
Send it to the room.
Send supported materials to Blender or 3ds Max, or export the maps for your own setup. Wood transfer is verified in Blender; its 3ds Max integration has not been verified for this release.

Choose the surface and finish
Set the relief and how different areas catch light. Choose a finish, adjust its gloss and add optional imperfections.
Actual Matelume app capture: Wood on a table in the Matelume 3D close-up.
Export and use it in Blender
Export the maps, then use Send to Blender for a wall panel, table top or selected object at real size.
Wood represents one veneer sheet. It does not create floors or plank layouts. Wood transfer to Blender is verified; Wood integration with 3ds Max, V-Ray and Corona has not been verified for this release.
Pick a colour from the wheel or the built-in Matelume colour catalogue. It becomes a single-colour image, then follows the same material steps as an imported image.
For fabric, choose Nothing stands up, then add a woven ground. For wood and marble, the colour stays flat: gloss and optional imperfections shape the finish. A colour start does not invent wood grain or stone veins.
Choose a material to follow every step in the 2.0 Studio.
