Simulon vs Texture Forager

Simulon. The camera for your imagination. Bring imagined characters, real objects and your own designs into the world around you. Compose with your camera, capture a lifelike image and turn it into a video by describing what happens next. No 3D or animation experience needed. CREATE FROM AN IDEA Start with words, a photo or your own design. Turn a sketch into a character or take a concept off the page and into a real setting. CLONE REALITY Create from photos of something real, whether it's your pet, a favourite car or a sculpture. Keep its familiar look or imagine something different. Give your pet a new outfit, shrink a car onto your desk or bring a statue to life. MAKE THE WORLD YOUR SET Place your subject in augmented reality. Adjust its size and position, then move around to find your angle. AI rendering brings it into the scene with lifelike lighting, shadows and reflections. DIRECT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT Describe how your subject moves and what happens in the scene to create a video. From a small gesture to an unexpected adventure, you direct the action without animating by hand. Keep your subjects in a personal library and return to them in new locations and new stories. Make something just for fun, develop an idea or create something to share with the world. GET STARTED Try Simulon with starter assets and included free usage. Creating custom assets requires a paid plan. Simulon Plus and Pro offer additional features and monthly usage. Usage limits apply. Shape reality.

Texture Forager turns the world around you into game-ready PBR materials. Photograph stone, bark, brick, moss or fabric and get a complete, seamlessly tiling material, ready for Unity, Unreal, Blender or AR. FLASH SCAN: REAL DEPTH, NOT GUESSWORK A single photo can only guess at depth. Flash Scan measures it. Hold your iPhone over a surface and tilt it around a guided ring while the flashlight lights it from every side. Texture Forager solves the surface's true normals and height, removes the lighting for a clean albedo, and records the patch's real-world size. A CAMERA BUILT FOR TEXTURES • Max mode captures at 48 MP for maximum detail • Measure mode uses LiDAR to record real-world scale and surface relief • Lock focus, exposure and white balance for consistent captures • Live warnings for clipped highlights, uneven light and motion • Or import any photo from your library A COMPLETE PBR MATERIAL Every capture becomes a full map set: Albedo, Normal, Height, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion and Metallic. Shadows and hotspots are evened out before tiling, so your material repeats without visible seams or bright bands. Smart presets tune the maps to each material's category. EDIT WITH PRECISION • Sliders for every map, with every map and the 3D preview updating as you drag • Crop, straighten and fix perspective with a four-corner editor • Clone Stamp to paint out blemishes and repeating details • Blend or Mirror tiling SEE IT IN 3D AND AR Try your material on a sphere, cube, plane or cylinder with real displacement, lighting presets and adjustable tiling. Then tap View in AR to place it on a real floor or wall at true scale. EXPORT FOR YOUR ENGINE • Presets for Unity, Unreal and Blender, with channel packing and the right normal-map format • 1K, 2K or 4K resolution, with 16-bit height • USDZ export that opens in AR Quick Look • Real-world scale travels with your export FORAGE AND COLLECT Your materials are pinned to the map where you found them. Sort your finds by category, rank them from Common to Legendary, and watch your collection grow. Your library syncs with iCloud, and you can publish your best finds to textureforager.com.
