KS MaterialFlow

KS MaterialFlow is a Unity material-production toolkit designed for artists, indie developers, asset creators and anyone working with large texture libraries.

Scan complete texture folders, generate materials in batches, automatically assign them, validate common problems, create polished 3D showcases, process PBR maps and automate repetitive workflows — all directly inside Unity.

FREE STANDALONE

KS Material Showcase Lite

Want to try part of the workflow before buying MaterialFlow?

KS Material Showcase Lite is a completely free standalone Unity tool for quickly turning folders of textures or materials into ready-to-play showcase scenes.

Showcase Lite includes:

• Automatic 4×4 material showcase
• 16 materials per page
• Rotating preview spheres
• Automatic slideshow playback
• Material names and showcase titles
• Previous / Next navigation
• Edit Mode and Play Mode support
• Responsive Game view layout
• Simple base-color material creation from textures
• Optional promotional link

No other Kalponic Studio product is required. Showcase Lite works completely on its own.

It is useful for Asset Store screenshots, itch.io product pages, texture-pack previews, portfolios, trailers and internal material reviews.

Try the showcase workflow free. If you later need the complete material-production workflow, move up to KS MaterialFlow.

1 — Create Materials

Point MaterialFlow at a folder containing your textures.

MaterialFlow can automatically detect common PBR maps including:

• Base Color / Albedo
• Normal
• Ambient Occlusion
• Metallic
• Roughness / Smoothness
• Height / Displacement
• Emission
• Opacity / Alpha
• Mask / ORM

Matching textures are grouped into material sets and converted into ready-to-use Unity materials.

Supported Naming Presets

• Substance Painter
• Quixel Megascans
• Poly Haven
• ambientCG
• Blender
• Unreal ORM
• Generic PBR

2 — Assign Materials

Creating materials is only half the job.

MaterialFlow can help match existing or generated materials to:

• Scene objects
• Prefabs
• Hierarchies
• Mesh Renderers
• Skinned Mesh Renderers
• Multi-material objects

Matching uses renderer names, material slots, submesh information, naming cleanup and confidence scoring.

3 — Validate Your Assets

Large material libraries can hide small problems.

MaterialFlow can check for:

• Missing texture maps
• Incorrect Normal Map import settings
• Incorrect sRGB / Linear settings
• Resolution mismatches
• Non-power-of-two textures
• Empty material slots
• Missing references
• Missing mipmaps
• Oversized textures
• Texture-memory concerns

4 — Build 3D Material Showcases

Need to present a large collection of materials?

MaterialFlow can build a ready-to-play showcase scene from your existing Unity materials.

Showcase Features

• 4×4 material grid
• 16 materials per sheet
• Automatic slideshow playback
• Rotating material spheres
• Studio lighting
• Orthographic presentation camera
• Material labels
• TextMeshPro styling
• Automatic sheet numbering
• Adjustable timing
• Optional looping
• Play Mode controls
• Background customization

Useful For

• Unity Asset Store screenshots
• itch.io presentations
• Texture-pack videos
• Material catalog previews
• Portfolio showcases
• Internal material reviews

5 — Single-Image PBR Synthesis

Have one source image but need a PBR starting point?

MaterialFlow can generate supporting PBR maps from a single source image.

Generated Outputs Can Include

• Base Color
• Normal
• Height
• Ambient Occlusion
• Roughness
• Smoothness
• Metallic
• Packed masks

Surface Presets

• Generic
• Stone
• Brick
• Wood
• Tile
• Concrete
• Metal
• Fabric

6 — PBR & Texture Utilities

Texture Diagnostics

Inspect image data using:

• Luminance
• Red channel
• Green channel
• Blue channel
• Alpha channel
• Histogram graphs
• Minimum / maximum values
• Average values
• Texture dimensions
• Texture format

Channel Packing

Combine individual texture channels into packed maps for workflows such as:

• Unity Metallic / Smoothness
• ORM
• Mask maps
• Custom packed textures

Roughness ↔ Smoothness

Quickly convert roughness into smoothness, or smoothness back into roughness, without leaving Unity.

Channel Extraction

Extract individual grayscale channels:

• Red
• Green
• Blue
• Alpha

Normal Map Tools

• Height → Normal
• DirectX ↔ OpenGL conversion
• Flip Green channel
• Blur / smooth normals
• Blend normal maps

Texture Blending

• Alpha Blend
• Additive
• Multiply
• Normal-map blending

Resize Tools

• Single texture resize
• Batch resizing
• Aspect-ratio preservation
• Power-of-two conversion

Project Health & Optimization

MaterialFlow can inspect your texture library and help identify:

• Oversized textures
• Uncompressed textures
• Missing mipmaps
• NPOT textures
• Potential texture-memory savings

This can be particularly useful when preparing larger projects or targeting different hardware.

Automation & Agent-Ready Workflows

Supported Workflows

• Unity Editor UI
• Batch processing
• Command line
• Unity batchmode
• Structured JSON
• MCP-compatible automation
• Agent-driven workflows

A compatible AI coding agent or automation system can drive MaterialFlow operations without requiring a separate implementation of the material tools.

MaterialFlow also includes an Agent & Automation Manual covering available actions, CLI workflows, MCP integration and example prompts.
