html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "; A creature created with Nomad by Glen Southern. The new desktop edition of the formerly mobile-only digital sculpting app is now available in free public beta. Hexanomad – aka developer Stéphane Ginier – has released the new desktop edition of Nomad, its popular digital sculpting app for iPads and Android tablets, in free public beta.Beta builds are currently available for Windows and macOS, although they currently only include a limited range of tools from the mobile edition. A rounded set of digital sculpting, 3D painting and remeshing features First released in 2020, Nomad – also often known as Nomad Sculpt – is a popular digital sculpting app for iPads and Android tablets.It has a familiar set of sculpting brushes, including Clay, Crease, Move, Flatten and Smooth, with support for falloff, alphas and masking. A dynamic tessellation system, similar to those of desktop tools like ZBrush, automatically changes the resolution of the part of the mesh being sculpted to accommodate new details. Users can also perform a voxel remesh of the sculpt to generate a uniform level of detail, or switch manually between different levels of resolution. Nomad features a PBR vertex paint system, making it possible to rough out surface colours; and built-in lighting and post-processing options for viewing models in context. Both sculpting and painting are layer-based, making it possible to work non-destructively. Completed sculpts can be exported in FBX, OBJ, glTF/GLB, PLY and STL format. New desktop edition still early in development, but evolving fast Nomad already has a web demo version, which makes it possible to test the app inside a web browser, but the new beta answers long-standing user requests for a native desktop version.It’s still very early in development, so it only features a limited range of tools from the mobile edition – the initial release was limited to the Clay and Move tools – and has known issues with graphics tablets, but new builds are being released regularly. Ginier has stated that his aim is to make the desktop edition “identical to the mobile versions”. The desktop version should also support Quad Remesher, Exoside’s auto retopology system, which is available as an in-app purchase inside the iPad edition. You can follow development in the -beta-desktop channel of the Nomad Sculpt Discord server. Price, release date and system requirements The desktop edition of Nomad is currently in free public beta for Windows 10+ and macOS 12.0+. Beta builds do not expire. Stéphane Ginier hasn’t announced a final release date or price yet.The mobile edition of Nomad is available for iOS/iPadOS 15.0+ and Android 6.0+.

As longtime Unity creators know, we regularly share updates and feature improvements, alongside tips and best practices, across multiple channels: on our blog, in the forums, and at events. This open, multichannel dialogue is a central part of our community’s roots.Sometimes, however, it’s nice to have a complete overview, or inventory, of what’s available for your specific expertise or area of interest. That’s what our new e-book, Unity for technical artists: Key toolsets and workflows, aims to provide for experienced and technical artists alike. While the original version of the e-book was based on the 2020 LTS, this latest iteration reflects what’s available in 2021 LTS.The first of its kind, this new guide compiles detailed summaries of all Unity systems, features, and workflows for experienced technical artists. Use it as both a source of inspiration and a reference for accessing more advanced creator content to expand your skill set.Through compact yet visually rich sections, Unity for technical artists highlights the vast possibilities for graphical quality and breadth of style that you can realize with Unity.But inspiration is not our only goal here. Each section includes links to instructional, in-depth resources, so you can learn how to use the toolsets that are most important to you, your work, and career path.Based on feedback from individual creators and professional teams we’ve worked with, technical artists are expected to have a broad understanding of what’s possible to achieve on various target platforms with the Digital Content Creationtools and game engine they’re using. In light of this knowledge, they inform the art director and other artists of any limitations and opportunities surrounding the target hardware.Many technical artists address their team’s most complex artistic needs, from character rigging to writing shaders, or proposing new workflows and creation tools to accelerate their processes. Overall, they play a critical role in ensuring that the visual quality of a game or other application meets the standard set by their team.Unity for technical artists spans a multitude of toolsets, pipelines, and workflows, reflecting this range of expertise required of technical artists.The e-book serves as a useful resource for users who want to expand their skills in Unity. Maybe you’re a programmer looking to specialize in graphics programming, a designer who wants to refine game content by scripting interactivity in Unity, or an artist learning to create shaders either through scripting or with the Shader Graph.Keep this e-book handy for onboarding new team members – those who have worked with Unity in a limited way previously, or those who’ve worked with a different engine entirely. This guide will help them pinpoint the Unity tools and related learning resources that can benefit their creative work.Let’s take a look at some of the major sections in the e-book.The chapters on assets cover topics such as building a non-destructive asset pipeline, importing assets, roundtripping with DCC tools, and the Asset Database.In this guide, we review the latest capabilities of the Universal Render Pipelineand the High Definition Render Pipeline, as well as pointers on how to choose the best rendering path for your particular project. Other topics covered include dynamic resolution and upscaling methods.Additionally, we unpack the lighting workflows used to simulate Global Illuminationwith the Progressive, CPU, and GPU Lightmappers, as well as differences between Real-time GI, Ray-traced GI, and Enlighten.Unity provides a complete set of tools for building and designing rich and scalable 3D and 2D worlds. These chapters dive into key workflows for grey-boxing levels with ProBuilder and Polybrush, while showcasing the latest iteration of the Terrain sculpting tools, and sharing details on how to create sky, cloud, and fog visuals in URP and HDRP.Visual Scripting comprises visual, node-based graphs that non-programmers can use to design final logic and create quick prototypes. An introduction to Unity’s Visual Scripting system explains how you can use it to define game logic for your Unity projects without writing traditional code.An extensive appendix outlines the process of creating digital humans for the Unity demos The Heretic and Enemies. From data capture and processing to creating the skin, eyes, and hair visuals, this section discloses how such effects were achieved.There’s much more to discover in the e-book, including sections on the animation system, creating cutscenes and cinematics, and the 2D toolset.We hope that you enjoy this latest technical guide. We encourage you to share your feedback on the forum.For more advanced content, you can browse our recently published How-to hub, which gathers Unity e-books, instructional articles, documentation, and more, all in one place. #its #here #complete #overview #unity
