Scanning
SVBRDF Scanner developed by colormass
The colormass Scanner is an advanced device designed to capture flat surfaces with exceptional quality, covering a wide range of materials such as fabrics, leathers, woods, plastics, vinyls, and wallpapers, among others. The scanner's primary function is to generate highly accurate texture maps, which are essential for rendering realistic 3D models.
The measurements it takes are used to produce texture maps that align with the Disney Principled BSDF (Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function) model. By using this method, the colormass scanner ensures that the materials it processes retain a lifelike appearance when rendered in 3D environments, making it a powerful tool for industries like interior design, e-commerce, fashion, and product visualization. The integration with the Disney BSDF model also allows for seamless compatibility with most modern rendering engines, enabling high-quality visuals in real-time applications or pre-rendered imagery.

Features and Specification
Maximum capture area: approximately 1.8 x 1.8 meters (6 x 6 feet).
Maximum resolution: approximately 800 DPI. For a sample size of 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 in), this produces texture maps of around 13,000 x 13,000 pixels.
Speed: Approximately 1 minute for every 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) area. Capturing a 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 in) sample takes about 15 minutes.
Batch capture: This feature allows multiple samples to be placed on the scanning table simultaneously, significantly reducing manual effort and optimizing workflow efficiency.
Calculated maps: diffuse, normal, roughness, specular, metalness, anisotropy strength, anisotropy rotation, displacement and transmission (optional). For more details, click here.
colormass provides two options for utilizing their scanner technology: you can either use our scanning service, where we handle everything for you, or we can build and supply a scanner for in-house use, allowing you to capture high-quality material textures directly.
