# Fabric Match — Stuv AI

**Subtitle:** Physics-Based Material & Texture Swapping

## Overview

Texture is the soul of textile products. Standard color-overs (like Photoshop bucket fills) destroy the realism of a garment or sofa. Stuv AI's Fabric Match uses physics-based texture mapping to preserve the folds, creases, and micro-shadows of the original material while swapping the "surface" to a new swatch. Whether you're moving from denim to silk or leather to cotton, our AI ensures the new material "reacts" to the lighting correctly. This allows fashion and furniture brands to visualize entire collections across hundreds of colors and patterns using just a single base photograph. This reduction in prototyping time and cost allows for a more agile design process, where you only manufacture what you already know looks great.

## Key Features
- Physics-based texture mapping that preserves folds and creases
- PBR (Physically Based Rendering) swatch support for photorealism
- Material reaction to existing lighting (specular highlights, diffuse bounce)
- Unlimited color and pattern variation from a single base image
- Supports garments, upholstery, flooring, and wall coverings

## Use Cases
- **Fashion Retail**: Show a garment in every color/pattern without separate photoshoots
- **Furniture**: Visualize sofa and chair upholstery options across the full material catalog
- **Textile Brands**: Create swatch preview visuals for B2B wholesale buyers

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

**Q: Does it preserve fabric texture?**
A: Yes. It maps the new texture onto the 3D surface of the original garment, preserving all folds, creases, and shadows.

**Q: Can I use it for leather or metal?**
A: Yes. Our PBR (Physically Based Rendering) material swap handles leather grain, metallic reflections, and fabric weave with identical physical accuracy.
