Material studies · Travertine uses an AI-generated base image. Other surfaces are procedural.

A material starts with an image.
Make every detail your own.

Explore surfaces for games, 3D scenes, and visual projects. Start with a surface image, build a set of material maps, and see how the texture looks under light and across a repeating surface—all in one workspace.

5 mapsOne complete export set

3D + TileTwo ways to inspect your material

Your surface.
Every detail, explored.

Move from a flat image to a material you can inspect. Fine-tune the relief and finish, check the repeat, then export maps for the tools you already use.

AI-generated travertine material preview

Start with a photo or sample

Upload a texture image, bring an AI-generated image from another tool, or explore an existing sample.

Build a complete material map set

Derive normal, roughness, height and ambient occlusion maps from your base image. Adjust the strength and finish as you go.

Look closely before you export

Inspect your material on a lit 3D shape, then switch to a repeating tile grid to spot visible seams.

Bring the maps into your scene

Download individual PNG files or a ZIP containing all five maps, your settings, and a short usage guide.

One surface. The right tools.

From texture to material

Texture Studio

Bring your own surface image or explore an existing AI-generated example. Create maps, inspect seams and export. Text-to-texture generation is not yet open.

Image to PBR

Start with a texture you already have. Turn one base image into normal, roughness, height and AO maps, with controls for the finish.

OpenGL · DirectX

Normal Map Generator

Convert image detail into surface relief. Adjust normal strength and choose OpenGL or DirectX orientation for your renderer.

Make a normal map

Refine the edges

Seamless Texture Generator

Blend opposing edges and inspect the repeat. Tune the blend width to prepare a texture for tiling across a larger surface.

Refine a repeat

Inspect the repeat

Texture Seam Checker

Check the whole image in a repeating grid while keeping its aspect ratio. Find visible boundaries before using it in a scene.

Check your texture

A few practical guides to help you understand the maps, choose your settings, and check the result.

THE PBR WORKFLOW

From one image to a material

See how base color, normal, roughness, height and AO work together, with a real travertine map set to inspect.

OPENGL OR DIRECTX

Choose the right normal format

Understand the green-channel difference between OpenGL and DirectX, then choose the format your renderer expects.

A CLOSER LOOK AT SEAMS

Give your texture a repeat check

Learn what to look for in a tiled preview and why matching boundary pixels is only part of a clean repeat.

FAQ

What can I make with Texel?

Upload a surface image or use a sample to create base color, normal, roughness, height and AO maps. Inspect repeating edges and download PNG files or a ZIP. Text-to-texture AI generation is not available in this public release.

Is the texture generator free?

Yes. Image-to-map conversion, seam blending, tiling and 3D previews, and PNG/ZIP downloads are free without an account. AI text generation is not yet open, and no AI credits are purchased or consumed by these tools.

Are the textures automatically seamless?

AI images are not guaranteed to tile perfectly. The seamless blend option softens opposing edges, and the adjustable repeat preview helps you check the result. Highly directional patterns and large features may still need manual cleanup.

Are these physically accurate PBR maps?

The additional maps are estimates derived from the base image. They are a practical starting point for material work, rather than measured physical properties. Adjust their strength and preview the result under your own lighting.

Can I use the maps in Blender, Unity or Unreal?

Yes. Maps export as standard PNG files. Use the base color with sRGB color space, and the other maps as non-color data. Select OpenGL or DirectX normal orientation to suit your renderer.

What happens to the images I upload?

Selected images are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our server or an AI provider. Download any files you want to keep before leaving the page. See our privacy page for hosting information.
