This package supports the bi-directional translation between MaterialX materials and glTF materials. The minimum version of MaterialX required is 1.38.9 and the target glTF version is 2.0.1. The current package is synced with MaterialX release 1.39.
See thehome page for this project.
Below is an example of converting the "Sci Fi Helmet" asset (found in theglTF Sample Model repository) to MaterialX and previewing.
The functionality found here is equivalent to the C++ module available inthis repository. Note that additional documentation can be found on that site.
The minimum version of Python is assumed to be 3.9 and has been tested up to 3.11.
The package hosted onPyPi can be installed usingpip
:
pip install materialxgltf
or thesource repository can be cloned and the package built from the command line:
py -m build
This will build a distribution folder calleddist
which contains a zip file which can be installed using:
pip --install<name of zip>
Requires the installation of the following packages:
materialx
version 1.39 or higher: For MaterialX support.pygltflib
: For conversion fromglTF
toglb
including packaging dependent geometry and image resources.
The package provides basic command line utilities for converting between glTF and MaterialX. These can be found by running the module:
python -m materialxgltf -h
which will result in the following output:
Usage: python -m materialxgltf<command> [options] wherecommand is mtlx2gltf or gltf2mtlx
Querying for help for each command will provide more detailed information:

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@google/model-viewer/dist/model-viewer.js"></script>The following shows is a set of progressive examples to convert from a glTF file to MaterialX and then to a new glTF file for "shader ball" preview ofextracted materials.
Note that the sample data is included as part of the package for convenience.
The sample input file is the "BoomBox with Axes" file from the glTFhttps://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/tree/main/Models/sitory foundhere.
This is converted from glTF to a MaterialX document which can be previewed / modified using an integration which supports MaterialX. Here the file is loaded into the a graph editor
The converted materials are then used to create a new glTF file using sample "shaderball" data with each material found assigned to different instances of the "shaderball"
AJupyter
notebook which performs the same steps is availablehere.
This or any other notebook can be used if the user wishes to test the package in an interactive environment.

All materials are assumed to use glTF PBR surface shaders.Conversion to this shading model can be performed via MaterialXutilities, which includes texture baking.
Please refer to thesample Jupyter notebook for an example of shadertranslation and baking using some convenience functions included with the package.Note that they do not need to be used as the core MaterialX distribution providesaccess to the APIs used in this package.
There are a number of build scripts in theutiltities folder provided for convenienceif users wish to build the repository locally.
