Surforge v1.3.2

Download Unity asset – Surforge – 3D rendered PBR texturing. In Unity.

Surforge is an editor extension that enables you to easily make high-quality 3d rendered PBR textures from scratch directly in Unity, with an extremely productive and intuitive workflow.



The exported maps are fully compatible with Unity Standard Shader, looking exactly the same as while you working on them.

It's a modeling toolset, kitbash library, map render, and material composer. All in one, everything you need to create great textures.

Unity 2019 fully supported.

Please note, Surforge can't run in HDRP project.
You could easily use result materials and maps in HDRP project with Unity built-in material converter. Please install Surforge into separate "3d" template project in this case.

System requirements

Unity 5.4 or higher (Personal or Pro), Shader model 3.5 Directx 11 compatible GPU required to run Surforge. You also need at least 8gb ram to render 4096 resolution maps.

Surforge well optimized to run fine on modern systems, however, it is GPU based, so powerful GPU is desirable.

Exported results (which are standard sets of textures) can be used in a wide range, including mobile, depending on the shaders with which they will be used.

Installation

- Import Surforge into a clean new project.

- Press “Go Ahead” button to update scripts for your Unity version.

- If something went wrong, you may need to press "Window - Layouts - Revert Factory Settings". Although this should not be necessary in this version.

Useful hints

- Drag and drop your meshes, not complete model assets. Meshes can be seen if you uncover your model asset content.

- Good UVs without folding is the key for great textures. You could make in with Blender (free tool).

- You may set texturePreview/composer rotation X to -90 in your scene for Blender models.
