How Marso Studio Works

Marso Studio takes a 3D asset (as a.glbfile) containing a mesh and its base colour texture, runs it through our I2M model, and outputs a PBR texture pack:

  • Albedo — refined base colour

  • Roughness — surface micro-detail

  • IOR (Index of Refraction) — dielectric reflectivity

  • Metallic — conductor vs. insulator classification

The model predicts these maps from the base texture and applies them back onto the mesh. You're adding PBR to an existing asset — not fixing the asset itself.

Normal Maps

You can toggle on Show Normal Map in the 3D viewer within Marso Studio. Please note: this does not affect the generated PBR output, only the render within the viewer.

Our I2M model can also produce specular and diffuse maps. Web viewers are unable to support this, so they will only be available via the I2M API.
