With Mattoboard's Mattoshift feature, you can upload your own materials, edit the properties and see them come to life in 3D. From luxurious marbles to rich fabrics, build and curate your dream virtual library for mood boarding. The best thing about Mattoshift is that you can upload both website imagery and photographs. Want to turn your personal physical material library completely virtual? Upload via photographs (ensure the image is flat with no harsh shadows). Stumbled across a beautiful material while surfing your favorite branded sites? Upload a high resolution image and vwa-la, an online virtual material library that's yours to explore, inspire and get creative with.
Choosing the perfect paint color is pivotal in design, and Mattoboard's paint in 3D feature revolutionizes this process. Experience over 1.6K paint colors (and growing) in full 3D directly in your web browser. This tool goes way beyond color selection, allowing you to explore different finishes and experience how they interact with light. Allowing you to specify exactly what you need and ensuring your chosen paint enhances your space in precisely the way you envision.
Every great mood board is anchored by compelling reference imagery. Whether it’s an inspirational space or a specific product, Mattoboard enables you to seamlessly incorporate any image into your mood board. Upload directly from your computer or drag and drop images from websites, then use Shape Shift to creatively display them on 3D objects. Choose from diverse styles like polaroids, torn paper, or digital devices, giving your mood board a distinct, personalized touch.
The digital nature of Mattoboard means your mood boards are accessible anytime, anywhere. Save all your projects in one place for easy review and editing. Mattoboard’s sharing feature is a true game-changer, allowing you to share a 3D link of your mood board. Recipients can view your designs in full 3D, complete with light and shadow, enhancing designer-client interactions and also streamlining feedback and collaboration within design teams.
