Development Roadmap

The Future of MaterialX

Advanced features from PBRtist for macOS are coming to MaterialX for Vision Pro. Here's what we're working on.

Next Major Release

Material Tree Editor

Navigate imported 3D scenes as a hierarchical material tree. Edit individual materials in place with per-material filter configurations.

  • Scene Hierarchy Navigation - Browse imported USD/GLTF objects as a tree structure
  • Per-Material Filters - Apply unique filter sets to each material in the scene
  • Material Replacement - Replace existing materials with your own PBR creations
  • Texture Override System - Provide custom textures for specific materials
Proven workflow from PBRtist: This advanced material editing system is already battle-tested in PBRtist for macOS, where it enables complex multi-material scene editing with SceneKit. MaterialX will bring this workflow to visionOS with native USD support.
