We’re super happy to bring you a taste of a new range of highly-requested scans, including hundreds of surface imperfections, 2×2 meter urban surfaces, street decals, tree barks, hard-surface base materials (such as metals, plastics, and rubbers), tileable displacement scans, scan-based brushes and much, much more. Let’s dive into all the new content types!

Clean Hard-surface Base Materials

NewMaterialss

We’ve introduced the first small sample of a wide range of upcoming clean base and precious metals, rubbers and plastics, all 2×2 m in size for maximum coverage and with highly accurate specular values captured from precise IOR measurements.

Surface Imperfections 

Surface imperfection scans are great for quickly adding realistic, high-fidelity detail to a material by using them as a detail roughness map. They can also be used as masks and to create brand new materials from scratch. Nearly all surface imperfections are available in resolutions up to 8192×8192 and cover 2×2 m surface area.

Tileable Displacements

These carefully crafted displacement maps are created using real-world scanned data and are highly modular, allowing you to easily add realistic structure to your surfaces or sculpts.

Scan-Based Paint Brushes

These new super high-resolution alpha brushes open up a whole new range of possibilities for artists. Import them to your favorite painting software and let loose! These brushes are ideal for both texturing applications and illustration purposes.

Urban Surfaces and Street Decals

Urban surfaces, decals, and 3D scans allow you to create ultra-realistic and diverse street environments very quickly, with great creative control. Megascans now includes a large variety of high-quality decals, such as potholes, cracks, patches, manhole covers, painted lines and more, in addition to 3D scanned curbs and 2×2 meter street surfaces, with more on the way.

The Megascans library is an industry leader in scanned materials based on real-world data; in sheer volume, in the breadth of variety, and for unparalleled quality.

We have a lot in the works and are excited to present more each and every day.
