## Description

MaterialCraft is an open-source, node-based procedural material designer that assembles tileable physically based rendering (PBR) textures from noises, patterns and filters in a live node graph with 2D and 3D previews. It runs natively on macOS, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, and in the browser via WebAssembly, which a community-maintained Docker image lets you self-host. Aimed at texture and material artists who need to create and export map sets for any engine, the container serves the static web app only, with no server-side rendering or centralized project storage.

It exports base color, normal, roughness, metallic, height, and ambient occlusion as PNG, JPEG, TGA, TIFF, BMP, WEBP, EXR, or HDR at 8, 16, or 32 bits.

### Can it be controlled by a CLI, JSON channel, or MCP server?

Yes, every menu item is a command, so a CLI, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server can build materials.
