Blender’s AI intern, Photoshop’s background removal is a net loss, and Bob Ross becomes the ghost in Substance Painter’s machine.
This week, Substance Painter 11 drops with a host of new features including a Bob Ross-worthy Stylization tool that gives your models that Ghibli-esque painterly look we've all been dreaming of.
We’ll check out how Claude AI is helping Blender users create 3D scenes through simple prompts, Nomad Sculpt's upcoming 2.0 update with Cinema 4D-inspired MoGraph features, and Photoshop Beta's impressive background removal improvements that finally handle those pesky wires and netting with ease.
Plus, we showcase amazing work from Doug Alberts' Noodle Studio and highlight how NotReal is using LoRa AI to augment (not replace) their artists.
Oh, don't forget about our NAB MoGraph Meetup on April 6th in Las Vegas! 👉 mographmeetup.com
