As of today, the Materialwerk BRIX Lite Edition is available for FREE.
“BRIX is the ultimate solution for unparalleled quality tiled materials in 3D Studio Max and Maya. With the BRIX texture plugin and the included material library, it is easier than ever before to create realistic brick wall materials, parquet patterns, stone floors, roofs, interior tiles or other tiled materials. A new concept with a completely new technology allows creation and rendering of ultra high resolution materials with very low memory usage. No matter how many bricks or tiles are needed, the randomized creation of the textures at rendertime eliminates repetition and tiling. BRIX offers more flexibility than standard materials with changeable pattern types, individual bricks or tiles and randomization of color, position, size and surface.”
BRIX Lite Edition contains 8 materials (as above) from the full version and can be used for commercial productions without limitation. The functionality is not limited except for two things: The material library contains 8 instead of 100 materials and you cannot import your own bitmaps into BRIX Lite Edition.
