“We’ve always placed our customers at the heart of our innovation process“, says Manfred M. Nerurkar, CEO of Abstract, “By actively listening to their feedback and suggestions during Early Access, we’ve refined InstaMAT 2025 to address real-world needs, delivering features that enhance creativity, efficiency, and scalability in ways that truly matter to our users.“

What’s New in InstaMAT 2025?

• Enhanced Asset Texturing with Reference Layers and Mask Filters: Create sophisticated, procedural texturing workflows and effects with dynamic layer references and powerful mask manipulation, unlocking new levels of artistic control, iteration, and procedural workflows with a flexible artist-friendly approach.
• Physically-Based Terrain Generation: InstaMAT adds a terrain generation system with physically based simulation to its arsenal of asset creation toolsets. Artists can create realistic terrain formations for games and VFX pipelines. InstaMAT combines terrain shaping, realistic erosion, biome generation, and asset scattering into a flexible node-based workflow. This new all-in-one system removes multi-app complexity, enabling faster, scalable, and consistent environment creation.
• Advanced Curve-Based Detailing: Create complex and organic shapes and lines with new Curve Brushes and a suite of Curves nodes. Manipulate curves directly on the mesh to see the procedural painting update in real time. Scatter shapes and details along paths and control advanced painting properties including brush dynamics, color, depth, and thickness.
• Cinematic Viewport Rendering with Raytracing and GI: Visualize 3D assets with cinematic quality thanks to InstaMAT’s upgraded real time viewport. Experience real-time raytraced shadows, reflections, global illumination and improved translucency.
• Advanced Curvature and Normal Baking: A new curvature baker generates higher quality curvature maps that support InstaMAT’s generative effects such as edgewear and stylization. The new Normal Bevel baker creates smooth, rounded edges along sharp surfaces, giving low poly assets a boost in quality without increasing subdivisions and polygon counts.
• Hundreds of new Library Assets: InstaMAT’s material library already includes more than 1000 PBR materials, the 2025 release adds more than 250 new assets. From brand-new stylized materials to hundreds of decals and filters with drag-and-drop controls accelerate creative workflows and expand artistic possibilities.
• Collaborative Project Sharing and Execution with Polyverse Integration: Upload and manage assets effortlessly with cloud collaboration, version control, and augmented reality previews for streamlined teamwork. Share entire InstaMAT projects to Polyverse to create custom Polytrons and execute them as microservices in the cloud.
