Advanced painting in Nomad Sculpt


 
Have been repainting a lot of my old 3d doodles in Nomad Sculpt.
These are some of the ones I have done in the last few days

Today I figured out the workflow to export the models with materials and textures compatible in other programs or platforms like Blender or Sketchfab, heres an example (free download) - 


Its sort of a PBR realism workflow that am getting into after a lot of NPR (which I will still continue).
To begin with Nomad Sculpt's material system is pretty robust, so a lot can be achieved with that if you are willing to put in the time. Previously I would work on the sculpt in Nomad, then move to Procreate for the painting and then get those textures back in Nomad.. This time I decided to figure out the complete workflow within Nomad.

After a lot of searching I found Razum's youtube channel and after a lot of deliberation, I've chosen to invest in a materials pack by Ilya Tulyakov (aka Razum)
Heres what comes in the pack -

Backlight of Keyboard not working on Ubuntu?



So one recurring issue I have been having with my Ubuntu setup has been that my generic keyboard's LED backlight doesn't turn on on its own. If your having the same issue, here's my current fix:

In Terminal type:

xset led 3

Note: this doesn't appear to be permanent fix.. I need to do this every time I reboot.

Painted the old 3D Prints

Had these models printed years back.. theyve just been sitting and gathering dust.. so decided to "update" them.

used standard acrylic paints, and a paintbrush.

oh, and both models are available for free at Thingiverse(incase you have your own printer) and at the Shapeways store, in case you just want to buy one.
