Scan Processing

With New Scan Processing nodes you can create accurate scanned materials from a set of pre-lit photos. To get the materials you’ll need a camera (or even a phone), a tripod and a flashlight or LED strip. Use 4 or 8 photos with varying lighting, crop and feed them to the Scan Processor.

The filters will cross check the different photos and extract a pure albedo as well as an incredibly detailed normal map or height map, no tweaking required. It works even with shiny materials or metals!

Curve Node

With the Curve node you can define a curve profile to remap color data. The node can be used for the definition of exotic forms like wood molding, heightmap creation or colorimetric correction.

Text Node

The Text node features effect filters like glow, drop shadow, and outline. The text input can also be exposed for dynamic changes in integrations.

Bakers

The bakers introduce 4 new features:

• Bake by material/texture set as in Substance Painter, limiting the hassle when your scene contains multiple materials.
• The bake limit has been pushed to 8K (and will be pushed even further in a future update).
• The X/Y ratio can be unlocked for non-uniform (non-square) baking.
• You can (finally) cancel the baking process before it finishes ?
