NVIDIA vMaterials is a curated collection of NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL) materials and lights representing common real-world materials used in design and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) workflows. Integrating the Iray or MDL SDK quickly brings this free library of hundreds of ready-to-use materials to your application, eliminating the need to write shaders.

Features

• Materials for Everybody: Free use of almost 2600 common material appearances for AEC and design.
• Pattern Repetition: Algorithm against pattern repetition ensures realistic textures.
• MDL Thumbnails: Easily browse materials with MDL thumbnails.
• Photoscanned Materials: Created using highly detailed photogrammetry texture maps for physical accuracy.
• Custom-Built Models: Designed for different material types with intuitive parameters.
• Cross-Platform Capability: Compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOSX.

Benefits

• Accuracy: Provides physically accurate digital references for real-world materials.
• Efficiency: Eliminates the need to write shaders, speeding up the design process.
• Integration: Easily integrates with various applications using Iray or the MDL SDK.
• Flexibility: Supports a wide range of applications and platforms.
• User-Friendly: Intuitive parameters and highly detailed textures ensure a user-friendly experience.
