PBR and Compatibility
Your fabric, leather or wallpaper in PBR standard
We scan all materials using the PBR (Physically Based Rendering) standard, which generates a set of high-quality bitmaps that capture essential material properties like color, texture, reflectivity, and transparency. Here, you can see a rendered preview that demonstrates the detail and accuracy made possible by PBR.
Captured material properties
Color
Perfectly captured and equalized albedo map without shadows.
Structure
Normal and height map for precise micro and macro structure simulation.
Reflectivity
Reflection description with glossiness, roughness and metallic map.
Transparency
Opacity map extracted from back lid sample and refined in post-production.
Works in any 3D Software
No matter what 3D software you are using, our materials are prepared in the PBR (Physically Based Rendering) standard, which is a general format for describing materials in all major 3D software.
Key Features
High precision capture technology without the limits
Finest details
Our ultra-high-precision flatbed 3D scanner captures the finest details of any fabric, regardless of its size or texture.
Spacious area
The scanner offers a spacious 1.5 x 2.2-meter scanning area, and for larger samples, we can stitch multiple scans together seamlessly.
Stability and precision
To ensure stability and precision, a vacuum system holds the fabric securely in place throughout the scanning process.
Accurate transparency capture
The scanning table is equipped with a backlight feature that illuminates scanned fabrics from behind, enabling precise capture of transparent or translucent areas.
Highly accurate
This capability allows for highly accurate digital replication of the fabric's visual properties, capturing fine details of opacity, color gradients, and texture variations influenced by light transmission.
Great for transparency
This feature is particularly valuable for fabrics or materials with partial transparency, ensuring that all characteristics are faithfully represented in the final scan.
Capture accurately colors or recolor samples
For fabrics, leathers or wallpapers available in multiple color options or with selectable color areas, we can digitally recolor them without requiring additional scans, providing flexibility and efficiency in the scanning process.
No postproduction
Our latest technology captures colors with exceptional realism, eliminating the need for any postproduction adjustments.
Colors in sRGB profile
The scanner’s calibrated color profile can be effortlessly converted to an sRGB profile for accurate display on any screen.
Our 3D experts finetune every sample
As you know, fabrics can often appear different in photos than they do in reality. This discrepancy is due to the intricate nature of fabric materials, which may contain fine details and varying degrees of transparency or reflectiveness.
Sample reviewing
To ensure the most realistic representation possible, each sample is meticulously reviewed.
Exceptional accuracy
Our 3D artists review and carefully adjust the data to match the original fabric with exceptional accuracy.
Digital Photoshooting
Get rendered previews per each sample
To provide more than just raw PBR data, we include preview mockup images for each fabric, leather or wallpaper sample, showcasing how it appears in a 3D environment. If desired, we can also create custom-rendered previews tailored for your website, database, or catalog, ensuring you have ready-to-use visuals that highlight each product’s unique qualities.
Substitute photoshooting with real-like visualizations
We create bespoke, life-like environments to showcase your fabrics, leathers or wallpapers in the most compelling way. Present your materials in any setting, generate hundreds of high-quality images overnight, and eliminate the need for costly on-site photo shoots.
Digital photoshooting for Textaafoam
To inspire customers with different tastes, Textaafoam developed a series of unique environments. Here’s one of them — “Trendy.”
Product vizualization for Masureel
We showcased the power of scanned materials by creating lifelike 3D teasers for Masureel, presenting their wallpapers in beautifully crafted scenes that elevate the visual impact of their designs.
Presentation of Adore fabric
For Textaafoam, we developed a bespoke presentation that highlights the elegance of the Adore fabric, beautifully upholstered on a bed.
Sample Processing
We are ready for big volumes
We’ve developed industrial-scale capabilities for material storage and scanning, allowing you to send samples in any form—cutouts or full rolls.
In-house production
With in-house production of physical fabric sample books, we have both the equipment and skilled team to efficiently handle large volumes.
All up to you
Our process is further enhanced by software solutions that streamline operations, from creating render queues to renaming and zipping data according to your preferred file structure.
How Our Scanning Process Works
We always start with an evaluation of the samples. Send us photos of the materials to be scanned, and based on that, we can provide a time and cost estimate, recommend the appropriate scanning method, and identify samples suitable for recoloring.
Size Requirements
For fabrics or wallpapers without a pattern, we ideally need a sample size of 40×40 cm to avoid visible repetition. For samples with a pattern, at least one full pattern tile must be included. For recoloring, we only need small pieces that include all the colors.
Sample description
Label each sample on the front side in one of the corners, and indicate the pattern direction with an arrow on the label. Make sure the label is placed outside the scanned area. Send us a list of all scanned items.
Sample delivery
Send the samples to our scanning department either on rolls or in a box, ensuring the fabric is not creased. After the scanning process, we can store or dispose of the samples according to your instructions.
Data output
We will share the link to our cloud when you can find all of your scanned data - if needed we can send the physical samples back to you or dispose them.

FAQ
The maximum scanning area for in-house scanning is 150 x 220 cm. For larger samples we can stitch together multiple scans. For on-site scanning and artificial reconstruction there is no size limit.
For simple surfaces, it takes approximately 1.5 hours, while for more complicated ones, it can take up to 6 hours.
The price range depends on the material type and scanning method. We also offer the option to colorize samples with the same pattern but in different colors. A custom price offer will always be provided based on the material type and your specific requirements.
For each material, you will receive a folder containing PBR maps in resolutions of 4K, 8K, or 16K, and with either 8-bit or 16-bit depth, depending on the material type. Additionally, you will receive a folder with previews of the rendered material. If needed, we can also provide you with the texture size in centimeters.
Yes, you can order a custom mockup. In such cases, we charge for scene setup and each custom render.
