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.
