Pro Tip: Add your own bold colors to our scan-based Color Wash Pine materials. It instantly gives your scene a playful, tactile energy.
Build a moody, cinematic look with just a spotlight and some movement. Use flashlight gobos for texture, add soft fill to shape the shadows, and let Signal handle the subtle camera movements.
Getting sand right comes down to scale and subtlety. With materials ready to go, the setup stays simple and your render practically builds itself.
Getting glass to look good doesn’t have to be work. The right models, materials, and lighting do most of the heavy lifting for an effortless, realistic render.
We’re proud of this collection. Not just because the materials look great (they do), but because it represents what we care about: craft, collaboration, and helping artists do their best work.
If you missed the story behind our collaboration with Ceremony Studio, it’s worth a read. buff.ly/OuLAmue
We've been exploring lifestyle compositions with our new decor models. Subtle shapes and soft shadows really pulled the look together.
We’ve been testing out the new decor models in Studio. You can build a still life scene in minutes.
Drop a few in, light it up, throw on some handmade materials, second-guess your decisions for 4 hours… done.
Ever wonder how your materials are made? Let’s go behind the kiln...
Together with Ceremony Studio, we turned real, handmade ceramics into photoreal 3D materials.
This is the story of how we did that, and why it’s one of our favorite collections yet

Gems not popping like you want?
⚡️ Pro Tip: Check your scale, boost those trace depths, and match transmission depth to your object size.
And don't forget to light up your caustics. It’s the small stuff that makes the sparkle.

Cozy renders don’t happen by accident. Krisztina Vichnal used our Living Room Models and the Studio app to build this fall scene.
Warm lighting, soft shadows, and furniture models that feel real. Simple tools, dialed in.
We broke down Krisztina's full process:

With these new scan-based gravel materials, you can hit the ground rolling (literally).
Displacement, SSS, and just enough grit to make your renders land.
This one’s for artists with a game plan. Solid geometry, clean UVs, no cleanup required.
Brand new Decor models. Now in Plus.
Everyone wanted a closer look at this one (the DMs don't lie)!
We used vertex maps and fields to create a dynamic path. Displacement and smoothing adds the depth.
And the surface detail? That’s all in the new Sand materials.
Making sand look this real? It’s not just the material.
Clean topology, proper scale, and the right displacement settings give your sand the structure it needs.
