Exports

A big advantage of an online 3D system like colormass is that since you are only storing a single source of truth, you can generate various kinds of export without having to store all those variations separately in the database.
On the right side of the screenshot below under Material outputs you can see four main outputs.
For fall materials that have an online revision, various outputs can be generated:
Flat thumbnails are images that are generated with a fixed dimension that is visible on the image. On the platform the following predefined sizes are available to be generated:
Tileable image is an image that can be placed next to itself (above, below, or side-by-side) without creating an obvious seam. The size of the repeat (and hence the physical size visible on the image) is included in the name of the file.
Map exports are the PBR exports where the maps can be exported based on the last material revision or texture set. This can mean standard PBR exports but you are also able to change between render engines (Vray, Corona, Cycles), workflows (Metallness/Roughness, Specular/Glossiness), file type and many other settings.
