Description
The Foundry Mari Overview
The Foundry Mari is a professional 3D texturing software. It allows you to paint directly on 3D models and UVs, and provides tools for working with large textures (up to 32K x 32K) and offers flexible brush and effect settings.
The Foundry Mari Features
1. Advanced 3D Painting
Mari offers powerful tools for painting directly onto 3D models with high precision, supporting thousands of textures and millions of polygons, making it ideal for complex, high-resolution assets.
2. Node-Based Material System
Its flexible node graph allows artists to build, edit, and manage complex materials and procedural workflows, offering creative freedom and full control over look development.
3. Multi-Channel Texturing
Mari supports painting and editing across multiple channels (diffuse, specular, displacement, etc.) simultaneously, ensuring consistent and detailed textures for production-quality assets.
4. Industry Integration
Mari seamlessly integrates into professional pipelines, supporting formats like UDIMs, OpenEXR, and Alembic, and works alongside other key tools including Maya, Katana, and Nuke.
5. Scalable Performance
Designed to handle large assets and complex textures, Mari remains responsive and efficient, even with massive texture sets and detailed models typical in film and AAA games.
6. Customization and Extensibility
With Python scripting and APIs, studios can extend Mari’s functionality to create custom tools and automate repetitive tasks, fitting specific pipeline needs.
7. Real-Time Shader Support
Artists can preview their work accurately with real-time GLSL shaders and support for industry-standard shaders like Unreal and Arnold, bridging the gap between texturing and final rendering.
