Foundry gives away one hundred twenty materials and textures for 3D artists

Foundry has released a free library with over 120 materials, textures, and brushes for digital artists. All resources can be used in commercial projects at no cost, simply by registering with a free account. The collection includes surfaces such as wood, metal, and plastic, created by visual effects experts.

Technical compatibility and application in 3D workflows 🎨

The library is compatible with Mari and other 3D design applications, allowing these assets to be integrated directly into production pipelines. The materials are optimized for PBR rendering and offer roughness, normal, and displacement maps. This reduces the time needed to create textures from scratch, making tasks like texturing props or entire scenes easier.

Finally, an excuse not to clean your worktable 🖌️

Because yes, having 120 free textures is great, but the best part is that now you can justify that digital mess by saying you're doing material research. Of course, if someone asks why you have 40 rust brushes, answer confidently: it's for a serious project. Or to simulate the state of your desk.
