纹理贴图制作工具Mari 1.6v1|The Foundry Mari 1.6v1
Mari 1.6v1是一个可以处理高度复杂纹理绘制的创意工具，Mari源于Weta Digital公司为了制作《阿凡达》而开发的程序，后由The Foundry继续开发成为商业软件，它的优点是快速又简单易用，可以处理高达 32k 的纹理绘图。它是利用 GPU 运算，所以硬件需求较高，须搭配 Nvidia Quadro 系列显卡。曾为电影《第九区 (DISTRICT 9)》、《可爱的骨头 (THE LOVELY BONES)》，以及《阿凡达 (Avatar) 》处理极度复杂、细腻的纹理绘制工作 。
Mari 1.6v1拥有的创意工具超越市面上的2D绘图工具，能够让动画师专注于纹理绘制的工作。它具有一个互动迅速又流畅的操作接口。你可以直接在3D模型上绘制纹理贴图，并能实时观看模型绘制后的效果 ﹣不但节省不少纹理贴图的绘制时间，更将纹理贴图工作带往前所未见的境界。
Mari拥有无以伦比的庞大纹理贴图功能，能同时高速处理大数据量并实现高精细的纹理效果。 Mari目前支持 Linux 64 bit 操作系统，并且完全能够支持Windows 64 bit 操作系统的版本。
Foundry has announced that Its production proven 3D digital paint tool MARI version 1.6 is now available. MARI 1.6 brings AMD graphics card support, flowmap tools and more..
“We’re really pleased that we’re now able to fully test and qualify cards from AMD. We’ve been working hard with them to make this happen and it’s great to have Radeons and FireGL cards as first class MARI platforms. MARI 1.6 also brings a new, and unique, toolkit for creating direction based effects directly on the geometry. Be it fur, feathers, scales or flowing lava, intuitive flowmap paint and vector tools give artists the power to nail the look. With new brush-tip preview and emissive shaders too, this release makes MARI more productive and accessible than ever.”
Jack Greasley, MARI Product Manager
What’s new in MARI 1.6?
- AMD graphics card support Radeon HD 7850, HD 7950 and FirePro W7000, W8000 and W9000 have been officially tested and added to the Tested Graphics Cards list.
- Vector Paint and Vector Inspector tools give you the ability to create flow and normal maps to specify the direction of paint flow on a model, and to monitor changes easily with the inspector.
- Vector paint blending modes help create flow and normal maps with the specialised Vector Paint tool.
- Vector shading modules assist in creating flow and normal maps by setting the vector field information, displaying flow visualisation.
- New brush cursor options mean the brush cursor for the Paint tool can be changed to display an outline of the currently selected brush.
- Projection Cube and Projection Sphere shader modules allow you to project cube map or spherical texture files onto geometry for a faster workflow.
- New options in the Hue filter and the Diffuse HSV shader module allow you to specify desaturation calculations based on HSV or HSL values.
