Color, Material, Finishing Libraries
Realishot CMF Libraries offer extensive preset color/material/surface finishing resources for instant 3D model application. Designers can rapidly apply CMF assets, create custom libraries, and enhance product aesthetics for cosmetics/electronics/automotive/home goods industries. This guide covers usage of color/material/finishing libraries and custom saving techniques.
Color, Material, Finishing Library
Color, material, and surface finishing, collectively known as CMF (Color, Material, Finishing) in the product design field. By organically integrating these three aspects, we enhance product appearance quality, user experience, and market competitiveness while meeting functional requirements. Its core value lies in combining user needs, brand identity, and technical feasibility to achieve differentiated product innovation, widely applied in industries like cosmetics, consumer electronics, automotive, and home goods.
Realishot provides comprehensive color, material, and finishing libraries for designers to use directly. You can also create your own CMF asset libraries.
For more information about materials and finishing, see the Materials and Finishing section.
Color Library
Using the Color Library
Select a model object, then click a color in the left color library to apply it to the target object.

You can also directly access the color library in the Material → Color panel.

Colors may be affected by color balance, tone mapping, or color maps.
Saving Custom Colors
Click the save button in the color panel to save custom colors.

The color variables panel also provides a save option.

You can upload .ase files to the workspace to add colors to the library.
Material Library
Using the Material Library
Select a model object, then choose a material from the left material library to apply it.

Alternatively, open the material library panel via the plus (+) icon in the properties panel.

Material changes may not be visually apparent if surface finishing is already applied.
Saving Materials
In the material variables panel, hover over the target material and click the save button.

Finishing Library
Using the Finishing Library
Select a model object, then choose a finishing from the left finishing library to apply it.
You can also access it via the plus (+) icon in the properties panel.
Saving Finishing
Similar to saving materials: In the finishing variables panel, hover and click the save button.
