Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for creating a computerized 3D model to include material property information for one or more regions of image textures of the computerized 3D model, including a method comprising: creating a computerized 3D model having image textures; examining a portion of a first image texture of the computerized 3D model having unknown material properties; assigning a material having a material property to the portion of the first image texture to indicate a physical material of a physical object represented by the portion of the first image texture, the material property having material property information about the physical materials; associating the material property information with the portion of the first image texture; and replacing the portion of the first image texture in the 3D model with a simulated texture of the assigned material.
