Leonardo.Ai offers a 3D texture generation tool that takes an uploaded 3D model file and a text prompt as input and produces texture maps (including Albedo, Normal, and Roughness maps) that can be applied directly to the model for use in game engines. The tool is available to registered users on the web platform and via the API.
Details
Users upload a 3D model in .OBJ format with UV mapping, then provide a text description of the desired surface material (for example, 'rusty alien metal'). The AI generates Physically Based Rendering (PBR) texture maps — Albedo, Normal, and Roughness — that define how the surface looks and reflects light in game engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine. The feature is accessible through both the web interface and programmatically via the API endpoint '/api/rest/v1/generations-texture'. This feature was part of the platform's original focus on game asset production when it launched in 2022.
