U3M Extension Released on Official Blender Extensions Platform
Munich, Germany, August 2026 – Vizoo has released a new version of its U3M Extension for Blender, now available for the first time directly through the official Blender Extensions platform.
The extension makes it easy to work with Unified 3D Material (U3M) files directly in Blender. Users can import U3M materials, including materials created with Vizoo’s xTex scanners, for rendering on products. The plugin can also edit textures and material parameters, and export them again.
Materials are automatically applied at their physically correct scale, helping maintain consistent and accurate material representation throughout the 3D workflow.
What’s included in version 1.3.0
- Import and export of U3M materials
- Integrated U3M Editor for textures and material parameters
- Automatic physically correct material scaling
- Support for U3M 1.0 and 1.1
- Compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer
By making the extension available through Blender Extensions, installation and access are now simpler for Blender users working with standardized digital materials.
