A large curated library of MatCap (Material Capture) textures in PNG and ZMT formats, organized by color, for use in 3D graphics. MatCaps bake lighting and reflections into a single texture, enabling cheap shadeless rendering in engines like Three.js, Blender, Unity, and ZBrush.

Use cases

• find matcap textures for three.js webgl scenes
• download litsphere textures for zbrush sculpting
• add cheap stylized lighting to a 3d model without setting up lights
• non-photorealistic rendering textures for blender or unity
• browse matcap pngs by color for a game project

When to choose

• you need ready-made matcap textures instead of authoring your own
• you want fast, lighting-free shading for sculpting or previews
• you work in three.js, blender, unity, or zbrush and need a variety of materials

When to avoid

• you need physically-based lighting or dynamic environment reflections
• you need a code library rather than texture assets
• your camera rotates freely around objects, where matcaps look wrong
