Iliad
Fully editable procedural pipelines, radically faster

Iliad is building Aqueduct, a node-based procedural material engine designed for creating textures and PBR materials. It is white-box and fully editable, with a built-in AI assistant that can interpret references, connect nodes, and organize complex material graphs. The platform also includes diffusion-based texture tools and is currently in early access rollout.
Users build material pipelines through a node-based graph editor, with an AI assistant helping to wire nodes and organize graphs, while diffusion-based tools generate textures and PBR outputs.
