Been playing around with #InstaMAT again lately. Taking a break from making trash piles to then pixelate said trash piles. Between the ability to dynamically bake down rigibody simulations and create custom image processing via Atom Graphs, I think I'm in love.

The Plant Nodes work across all input texture channels, and integrate seamlessly with each other. Your graphs have never been quicker to make or looked as clean.

Finally, Plant Press let's us assemble all of our cutouts onto one atlas, easily. Simply plug in up to 4 different cards per node and let Plant Press take care of compositing your maps for you! It even handles bark textures and makes them seamless for you, no manual work required.

Plant Splint helps straighten out any curved or bent foliage cutouts. It can be challenging to map bent cutouts onto 3D models, so Plant Splint aims to make straightening them fit seamlessly into the atlas creation process before you even get to 3D!

Plant Propagate let's you input an existing atlas and outputs an individual cutout with all of the corresponding texture channels.

There's even pixel padding for instances where all you need is a single cutout!

🌿Hey Foliage Artists, I've launched 2 more #substancedesigner nodes, streamlining the atlas creation process. More plants, less spaghetti. 🍝

See the Gumroad and YouTube pages, as well as the thread for more details!

Another #constellation skybox doodle using my #b3d addon I'm working on. Gonna try and start posting more here. ✨

Working on a cool little tool that lets you make Nebula like this in #b3d. Screenshot was taken off the viewport in real-time. ✨
