We live in an exciting time where online platforms allow us to tackle some of life’s more interesting challenges with the help of technology. From education to creativity (and even 3D fabric textures), there are fantastic technology solutions available to enhance projects or tasks.
Enter Mattoboard, a revolutionary new platform that is transforming the way designers create mood boards. This exciting technology brings a fresh approach to visual storytelling, making the design process more intuitive, collaborative, and impactful. With standout features and the seamless integration of Twinbru’s digital fabric twins, Mattoboard is setting a new standard in the industry.
A quick intro to Mattoboard
Mattoboard began as an innovative project aimed at revolutionising the way designers create and share mood boards. Launched by a team of passionate designers and tech enthusiasts, the platform quickly gained traction for its user-friendly interface and robust features. Mattoboard allows users to effortlessly drag and drop images, fabrics, and other design elements into customisable mood boards, making the creative process more efficient and collaborative.
Today, it boasts a rapidly growing user base of thousands of designers, architects, and creatives worldwide. One of the key factors behind Mattoboard’s success is that it offers an extensive library of digital assets, including Twinbru’s digital 3D fabric textures, to create hyper-realistic digital representations of physical materials. This combination of cutting-edge technology and practical solutions makes Mattoboard a standout tool in the design industry.
Bring on the boards!
Here’s what makes Mattoboard a game-changer in the industry:
3D Material Boards
Mattoboard’s signature feature is the ability to design 3D material boards online. Traditional mood boards are often limited to flat, two-dimensional representations, but Mattoboard breaks this mould by allowing users to craft boards with realistic textures, lighting, and shadows. This capability brings designs to life, giving them a tangible form in the digital realm. Imagine being able to see how different materials interact under various lighting conditions or how shadows fall on different textures. This level of detail not only enhances the visual appeal of the boards but also provides a more accurate representation of the final product.
Seamless image integration
Another feature that sets Mattoboard apart is its seamless image integration. Whether you're incorporating inspirational spaces, specific products, or material samples, Mattoboard makes it easy to add images to your mood boards. Users can upload images directly from their computers or simply drag and drop them from websites. This flexibility is further enhanced by the ShapeShift feature, which allows images to be creatively displayed on 3D objects. The ability to manipulate images in this way adds a layer of creativity and precision that is unmatched by traditional mood boards.
Endless experimentation
Mattoboard empowers designers with the freedom to experiment endlessly within a dynamic 3D environment. Unlike traditional flat mood boards, which can feel static and limiting, Mattoboard’s 3D capabilities allow for the continuous rearrangement of materials, colours, and products. This feature is akin to having a virtual design studio at your fingertips, where you can test out different combinations and see immediate results. This level of experimentation fosters creativity and innovation, enabling designers to explore multiple design options quickly and effectively.
Practical applications
For interior designers, architects, and anyone passionate about visualising spaces, Mattoboard serves as a powerful canvas for innovation and inspiration. Given access to an extensive library of highly detailed fabric options and other realistic materials designers can showcase viable product options available from local suppliers. Furthermore, Twinbru’s digital fabrics capture the true colour, texture, and pattern of market-ready physical fabrics, adding a layer of realism that enhances the overall design process.
Moreover, Mattoboard’s inclusion of practical, high-performance fabrics like FibreGuard and FR-One addresses both aesthetic and functional needs. FibreGuard’s stain-resistant properties and FR-One’s fire safety standards ensure that the materials not only look great but also meet the highest standards of durability and safety. This makes Mattoboard not just a tool for visualisation, but also a practical resource for making informed design decisions.
Get creative!
Mattoboard is setting a new standard in the design industry with its innovative approach. Taking technology to a new level opens up greater creativity possibilities for design professionals but also opens a world of communication with clients. Bye-bye flat mood boards and hello to improved visual exchange of ideas, accessibility to material options, and concept presentations that give an accurate sense of the feeling of a project immediately. Whether you’re an interior designer, architect, or a creative professional, Mattoboard is your canvas for innovation and inspiration, offering endless possibilities in the world of design.
