How AI Is Transforming Our Perception of Materials

Whether it’s an armchair, a surface, or a digital prototype – what if textures were no longer selected manually but generated instantly at the push of a button? AI-driven systems like TextureGPT make this a reality. They analyze image and material data, combine sensory input streams, and suggest realistic and innovative material options in real time.

  • Textures at the Push of a Button: Text prompts become material suggestions – automated and customizable.
  • Sensor-Based Feedback: Combining text, haptic data, and visual simulation.
  • For 3D, XR, Industry & Fashion: Versatile applications – from virtual product shows to smart factories.

Material creation is increasingly becoming a data-driven, adaptive process. Machines learn how an object should feel, shine, or wrinkle – and simulate it instantly.

Next Level for 3D Artists, Design & Engineering

Instead of time-consuming texture maps, creators, engineers, and motion designers can generate visual variants in seconds – tailored to lighting, form, material, and context of use. This reduces development time, increases design diversity, and enables simulations that offer real advantages in production and marketing.

  • Faster Prototype Testing: Immediate feedback on material aesthetics in digital space.
  • Expanding Design Systems: More diverse libraries and realistic material effects.
  • Also for XR & Metaverse: Immersive products, fashion, and architecture with authentic material presence.

Using generative texturing tools can accelerate design cycles by up to 60% – while increasing diversity at the same time.

Want to Try It Yourself? Machine Learning Models with Flux.jl

If you’re interested in experimenting with AI-generated texture creation, the official GitHub repository of **Flux.jl** offers a technically demanding yet promising foundation. Flux is a machine learning framework written in the Julia programming language, optimized for complex neural networks. While the specific project shown in our video is not publicly accessible, the architecture can be replicated or adapted using Flux.

  • Open-source on GitHub – suitable for custom training pipelines
  • High flexibility through Julia-based model architectures
  • No public beta version of the featured pipeline available – as of June 2025

Direct access to the texture generation pipeline featured in the video is currently unavailable. However, developers experienced in Julia and machine learning can already start building their own solutions via the following repository:

https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl

As soon as public access to the specific texture pipeline becomes available, we will provide an update via the Visoric Newsroom.
