Base Color
Surface colour without lighting.
MATERIAL & SURFACE SCANNING
Material & Surface Scanning
We do not scan the object. We scan what it is made of.
From the real sample to the digital material.
The METIS DRS 2020 DCS scanner captures surface colour, reflectance and structure at ultra-high resolution. METIS software processes the captured data and produces the PBR maps required to digitally reconstruct the material’s behaviour.
GLAB manages the complete project: sample preparation, capture, verification, processing within the METIS workflow and delivery of files ready for rendering, configurators and 3D visualisation.

Technology in the laboratory
METIS DRS 2020 DCSThis is the instrument used to capture the physical sample. Its synchronised lighting system reads colour and surface response separately.
PBR · METIS WORKFLOW
One material, all the information it needs.
After scanning, METIS software generates the maps required to digitally recreate the appearance and behaviour of the surface: colour, relief, gloss, transparency and reflections. GLAB checks and processes the files for the client’s workflow.
Roughness
How matte or glossy the material appears.
Normal
Small-scale surface orientation.
Displacement
Geometric height and relief.
Alpha
Selection and masking information.
Opacity
Material transparency.
Metalness
Metallic or dielectric behaviour.
3D Depth
Measured surface depth data.
Glossiness
Specular response for compatible workflows.
