Patina Image-to-Map
Patina Image-to-Map generates a complete set of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) material maps from a single input image. Upload any photograph or render — the model produces all 5 map types in one run, ready for use in game engines, 3D tools, and real-time rendering pipelines.
Why Choose This?
-
Complete PBR map generation Generates all 5 material maps from a single image in one run — no manual authoring or separate processing steps required.
-
Works on any surface image Compatible with photographs of real-world materials, textures, and renders for versatile workflow integration.
-
Production-ready output Maps are formatted for direct use in game engines (Unreal, Unity), 3D tools (Blender, Maya), and real-time rendering pipelines.
-
Simple single-input workflow Just one image in, five maps out. No configuration required.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | URL of the input image (photograph or render) to generate PBR maps from. |
How to Use
- Upload your image — provide a photograph or render of the surface material via URL.
- Submit — the model generates all 5 PBR material maps in a single run.
- Download your complete map set ready for use in your 3D pipeline.
Pricing
Just $0.06 per run (5 maps).
Best Use Cases
- Game development — Generate complete PBR material sets from photo references for real-time game assets.
- 3D environment art — Rapidly produce material maps for architectural visualization and scene building.
- Texture authoring — Accelerate material creation workflows by generating map sets from existing photography.
- Asset digitization — Convert photographs of real-world surfaces into production-ready PBR materials.
- Indie & rapid prototyping — Quickly populate 3D scenes with physically accurate materials without manual map authoring.
Pro Tips
- Use well-lit, evenly illuminated surface photos for the most accurate albedo and normal map extraction.
- Avoid images with strong directional shadows — diffuse, neutral lighting produces the cleanest maps.
- Crop your input image to focus on the material surface and minimize irrelevant background areas.
- High-resolution input images produce more detailed and accurate map outputs.
Notes
- image is the only required field.
- Each run generates 5 PBR map types as output.
- Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible if using a link rather than a direct upload.
