  "summary": "Material generation should produce not only an appearance, but also the rules that construct it. We introduce MatLoom, a compact, layer-oriented language for text-to-material generation with pretrained language models. Each program composes alpha-masked layers whose shared spatial expressions define coverage and physically based rendering (PBR) channels, making dependencies between patterns,…",
