Mari была разработана новозеландской компанией Weta Digital, где использовалась при создании таких фильмов как District 9, The Lovely Bones и Avatar. Mari предназначена только для текстурирования 3D-моделей. От аналогов (Zbrush, Mudbox, Blender, 3d-coat) отличается поддержкой до нескольких тысяч больших текстур (32k на 32k пикселей) на модель, большей скоростью работы с большими текстурами, большими возможностями по визуализации, гибким движком кистей, поддержкой анимации и возможностью создавать анимированные текстуры. Системные требования:
* Windows 7 64-bit, or a Linux 64-bit operating system (Fedora 12 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4)
* 250GB disk space available for caching and temporary files (or a minimum of 50GB if you're working on a small project)
* At least 4GB RAM
* Display with 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution
* An NVIDIA graphics card with at least 1GB of RAM and OpenGL 3.0 support (see Recommended Graphics Cards below). Recommended Graphics Cards:
* NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800
* NVIDIA Quadro (Fermi Series) 5000
* NVIDIA Quadro (Fermi Series) 6000 Painting:
* Fully customisable brush engine
* 'Paint through' and 'clone from' between layers and textures (including 'clone from' on-surface)
* 'Slurp' brush for smearing and dragging texture
* Paint canvas transform, grid warp and free-form 'pin' warp
* Blur and sharpen, including on-surface, multiple UV patches simultaneously
* Advanced 'healing' brush for seam removal and duplication of texture detail Environment:
* Filters with real-time preview
* Advanced channel masking engine, including mask painting, surface falloff, masking one channel to another, and by depth
* Supports customisable real-time 3D shader preview (e.g. specular highlights, displacement preview via bump mapping, ambient occlusion, layer blending modes, colour correction and more
* Customisable tool 'shelves' for brushes, colours, reference images, sharable between artist and projects
* Floating point, 16 bit or 8 bit channels
* All painting and shading tools are available in 3D projection paint mode and 'flat' UV paint mode
* Background plates for reference
* Imports multiple camera moves through which the model can be viewed Models:
* obj model format support
* Multiple objects, versions (e.g. high res or in key character poses), instances, with or without baked animation
* Interactively handles very large 3D model data sets, scaling to over 1 million polygons for a single topology or mesh
* Supports large textures up to 32K x 32K pixels
* Handles thousands of textures per model, over many channels
* Seamlessly supports hundreds of UV texture patches
* Handles animated geometry and animated textures
* Isolate, select, mask and hide geometry per patch and face
* Customisable lighting and rendering modes
* Massive geometry and texture data sets not limited by the amount of RAM Workflow:
* Linux
* High quality turntable rendering
* Flatten and round-trip projected textures for modifying externally (for example in NUKE or Adobe© Photoshop©)
* Open and extensible approach to UI, geometry, camera, shading, and supporting light and texture exchange
* Import and export as background tasks, allowing the artist to continue painting
* Embedded web browser for quick access to community forum
* Fully featured and open playtime colour management system
* Filters with real time preview and fully featured colour correction OS: WinAll
