For Digital Content Creation

Create detailed, ClayTools texture maps that are ideal to apply to low poly models created in popularmodeling and animation packages such as 3ds Max and Maya. ClayTools data can be imported into 3ds Max and Maya for animation purposes.

ClayTools TextureKiln

™

Texture baking at blazing fast speed

•

Provides stunning visual content for real-time rendering and fast, high-detail, off-line rendering

•

Supports multiple map types (normal,height, color, and occlusion) for next-generation games, film, and design production pipelines

•

Large models – supports pieces eachwith over 20 million triangles

•

Streamlined – no need to decimate orexport dense models to 3ds Max, Maya, and other animation packages

•

Quick iterations – maximize creativity andrefine the final textured model without preprocessing steps

Generate 2048 x 2048 resolution normal map from an 8.5 million triangle model in less that 1 minute.
