Models can also be viewed in the real world via a new AR-based display system. The model can be lit using Procreate’s new Lighting Studio, using up to four light sources, and any of the 11 readymade natural and artificial lighting environments. Normal and ambient occlusion maps are preserved from the imported model. The new material brushes support PBR materials, with users able to paint colour, metallic and roughness channels directly. Brush strokes are automatically snapped to the model’s surface. Users can import a 3D object in OBJ or USDZ format to use as a canvas and paint on it from any angle.
