Hitsura

Materials that look as good as they feel to make.

A Vulkan-powered application for PBR texture painting and procedural material authoring—built for a fast, non-destructive trip from mesh to game-ready surface.

Inside the app

The whole material workflow, in one view.

Layers, material assets, viewport controls, lighting, and node-based authoring stay visible together in a focused desktop workspace.

Why Hitsura

One surface.
The whole material story.

Painting, procedural authoring, baking, and preview live in one focused workspace, so iteration stays visual and every choice remains editable.

01

Paint directly in PBR

See lighting, roughness, metalness, and normal detail react while you work on the surface.

02

Keep the stack live

Layers, masks, effects, and materials stay adjustable as the asset evolves.

03

Build procedural looks

Reusable graphs and generators bring controlled variation to every surface.

04

Stay on the GPU

Vulkan drives painting, compositing, and the live material preview.

05

Finish game-ready

High-quality baking and export produce the maps a real-time pipeline expects.

The workflow

From blank mesh to believable surface.

The creative loop stays tight while deeper tools remain close when the material calls for them.

  1. 01

    Import

    Bring in a glTF mesh and move straight into a real-time PBR viewport.

  2. 02

    Paint

    Build the surface with brushes, masks, layers, and smart materials.

  3. 03

    Author

    Create reusable procedural graphs and generators for controlled variation.

  4. 04

    Bake

    Turn the finished surface into production-ready texture maps.

Material library

A starting point,
never a dead end.

Smart materials and graphs make common surfaces immediate while every layer and parameter stays open to the artist.
