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.
-Matcap creator (I know other people have created similar blend files, but mine automagically composites a background as well, while still allowing an hdri map, etc. ) here (google drive)
Don’t want to get this thread off topic ,but since we can now add our own matcaps ,it would be nice to filter them. @Wazou kinda gave me the idea when he posted the different types of matcaps. What if we could add different folders in the main matcap folder(Plastic, Metallic, Clay, etc.) and then filter based on the folders?
Readability should be key, dear fellow blender artists!
Please a bit less: “Wow, my ball looks so cool!”
…and more of: “Wow, the mesh is so readable!”
As a fair punishment everybody should have to use the matcaps they voted for.
You’ll then know why #30, #41, #61, #86… etc are so good! (They’re no punishment obviously.)
I’m not talking about default ones. I’m talking about when you start adding your own and your way beyond the 16-24. You would then have to search a while for a specific “type” of matcaps . You might have a “clay” matcap on the first column and then one at the bottom(say column 30). A way to group(ordering, filtering, etc.) them into categories would then come in handy.
Honest question, and a call for your opinion. What do you think of how I’m approaching matcap design currently, in your opinion am I creating useful quality matcaps that you would use? If not I really don’t want to continue with the process I have now, I do want to contribute to the 2.8 project.
Yup, I’ve asked for the same thing some posts above yours… Folks are just submitting things they think look cool, instead of being “useful” though :-/
We need a specific set of metallic matcaps that can easily show topology flow for sub-d models and other hard-surface meshes. Your examples above are a really good example of what would be nice to see included.
