Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
What it is
Matterfield is a web-based library of scanned real-world 3D assets for VFX, computer vision, and video game developers. Its collection includes models, textures, HDRIs, and software tools, with downloads in FBX, PNG, EXR, and HIP (ZIP) formats. Matterfield says it creates 3D and 2D content using scanning and other production workflows. The free No Sponsorship plan includes common models and textures, collections, a blog, and a knowledgebase. Paid plans start at $10/mo: Friend includes all 3D models and textures; Partner adds HDRIs, software, scripts, tools, and asset sponsorship. Benefactor includes high-poly source data and revision and variation requests, and is required for companies with revenue over $100k. Downloads are unlimited with the required subscription, but individual asset purchases are unavailable. Commercial use is allowed, though assets cannot be resold on other websites or used for AI training without an agreement. A Houdini toolset page says UV proxy output can be unwrapped in RizomUV or Blender. Matterfield was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.
