Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability normal-roughness-baker-mcp-70bd1fc3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Bake normal and roughness maps from my surface material data — here's the input: 'smooth_metal_brushed_horizontal_grain_high_reflectance'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to automate texture baking (normal and roughness maps) from surface or material description data as part of a 3D asset pipeline, especially in agentic or automated workflows where a paid-per-call API fits the use case.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 'data' field returns an error response
- Malformed surface description string may produce incomplete or incorrect texture maps
- Service unavailability returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents processing

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns baked normal map and roughness map data derived from the provided surface input string, suitable for use in PBR rendering pipelines and game engines.
