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!
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 <<<
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.
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 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.
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
Psych, im back. This time I have a Ceramic like matcap. I know its not flashy, or cool. But I honestly believe it will be useful. I mean, its easy on the eyes, shows form well, and just looks nice.
