A low-contrast grayscale matcap that resembles the first preset (but looks better imo). Since it’s grayscale it should work well with the material mode. Although I would be happy if there was a gradient mapping mode too so you could choose your own colors (using a grayscale matcap).

A low-contrast grayscale matcap that has darker lighting in the middle area with lights around it making surface details very apparent. Should be good for sculpting.
That’s all from me! :stuck_out_tongue:

Kinda of a clay shader.

Here is the EXR: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Yi63zT3OJSdCGsE82lA000ixkLwKvSBN]

I don’t know if the EXR was properly made because I never used this file format. I exported it from blender with the option “Open EXR”, I set the float to full… But the visualization in photoshop was different from the jpg, it was more saturated. If you guys know a better way to export the exr file, please let me know.

The server says I can only upload one image in this post because I am a new user, so I could not show the matcap as a sphere. But its jpg is in the link <<<

Cheers!

here it is

A Studio clay matcap I made entirely procedurally with GLSL.
I like those hot/cold colors on a white material with a red sss underneath, feels more organic while sculpting.

There are many good matcaps here already, but I made some so I figured I’d share them

That’s a favorite one that I created in my Zbrush days:

This one is designed to be easy on the eyes and and contains a lot of geometric information. which make it ideal for sculpting.

You know, I think we don’t need studio lights anymore.
It resembles too much the old uncustomizable matcaps, I think it can be safely removed!! Matcaps are Waaaaay superior!!

Of course, we must add texture painting support first.

I have slightly increased the contrast to bring up more details.

Anisotropic metal matcap (just because we don’t seem to have anything like it)

Here’s a red car paint matcap that I think works quite well.


Here’s the link to the EXR file:

I made a MatCap based on the default shading.
The goal was to create a MatCap that feels familiar but does not look overexposed and does not have those weird lines.

Since I can upload only one image, here’s an imgur album for better comparison:

Hand painted deep absorption glass.

If you look the ball closely, you will spot a easterEgg

Remember that MatCaps are used for hard-surface modeling too – think cars, sci-fi shapes, or generally any sub-d mesh with smooth, flowing, curves/bevels.

For those we need more metallic matcaps, ones that show how reflections flow along the surface. I haven’t had much success myself when trying to replace the gold, silver, and shiny red matcaps we have today that I typically use.

Anyone care to attempt to help with those types? A matcap with straight lines on it (like zebra stripes) would also aide in this type of workflow too: https://developer.blender.org/T52087
