Hello everyone!

For all interested in digital paintings on iOS, finally there's the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 4.1 version of Procreate!!!!

Check it out: https://youtu.be/juDKyQce6_k

So incredible what Procreate' guys were able to do....

Beotian's question :)

Does this can work on a SmartPhone ? (procreate)

Yes! Only on iPhone obviously because it's exclusively for iOS.

Here the iPhone version: https://procreate.art/pocket

I don't know if this pocket version has already received the same updtae 4.1 of the iPad version.
Anyway, I use only the iPad version but for what I've seen so far and what I've read here and there also the Pocket version is a killer App.

Consider that many people (including me) bought the iPad Pro almost exclusively to run this magical App (Procreate).
Maybe this can sound a little bit extreme but if you had the chance to use Procreate at least for some minutes you can understand :)

Yes seems a killer toshop /cintiq for 12 $ on tablet or 6$ for the Smartphone :)

and works also on normal Mac computers ?

No. It works exclusively on mobile devices, iPad/iPad Pro/iPhone.

And it's better this way because Procrete's guys were able to create the most optimised code, leveraging on Metal API of iOS instead of the poor OpenGL.

P.s. see what great artists around the world can do with this amazing App...

About the free PBR for free SketchUp Make ! :)

For have transparency, it's a little tricky! :)

Use free online https://pixlr.com/editor/ (or your 2d favorite editor) for give to your "texture image" % of Opacity (so transparency)

+ decrease the Luminocity!!! (that the trick)

then Import the PNG inside SketchUp as usual as "Texture" (can be in redrawing over a surface)

Now don't forget in PBR to put Section "Alpha / Combined with Background" else transparency don't will existing!

For build some maps the cool free online http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/



The PBR






Just for test: a simple plan + hard normal map for give simulate forms to waves and you can see clouds under! ;)



You can save a Material PBR! (+ maps)
Right Click on the palett of a SU materiel "used in the Model" !!! Save as
That create an .skm matrerial file that you put on the PBR folder :)
Rename a .skm file in .zip, Unzip it and you will refind all images!

Another trick for refund all SketchUp Images texture of a model
Export 3D .kmz
rename .zip, unzip, you have all image textures in a folder (only default they are rename texture, texture_0 etc...
it's not so bad! :)

Astonishing guy! Peter Draws!
Always absolutly incredible!

Our friend Chipp makes this one! ;)

Hello Pilou!

You know how I feel about Blender.
The more you use it, the more you love it :)

Waiting the upcoming 2.8 with Evee realtime render engine.
I expect big things with my Gtx 1080 Ti!!

For Sketchup users...

etc...

Very useful this new series from Chipp!!
I joined his YouTube channel ;)

Blender is a wonderful tool!

Holy smokes! This Blender addon (Mesh Machine) video is the closest thing to NURBS with Polys.



And check out this one-- not only is interesting watching the form create, but then watching it deconstruct at the end!



Blender continues to amaze..
