Can I borrow Nomad’s effects into other programs?

[Alan_Tandelov]

I made a sculpt I want to render in Blender. I usually use some convoluted combination of matcap shaders and vertex paint but in this sculpt I heavily leaned on AO and Curvature. It’s really hard to replicate that style in PBR blender. Is there a method to transfer post process? Stupid question, I know. But there a chance for everything.

No you can’t do that.

There is a postprocess AO in blender but it will have a different effect.

[Alan_Tandelov]

yeah, it’s really different for sure! =) I’ve been fiddling with AO node but it’s hard to match the bias from Nomad. Do you have some experience with that stuff? If you’ve got some i’ll be so grateful

[stephomi]

In case you don’t know you can boost the ao strength in blender with a value higher than 1 (by the keyboard).
By adjusting the distance, you can get something a bit similar maybe.

[Alan_Tandelov]

Yeah, but it has more effect on overall size rather that curvature bias.

I found a solution, although a convoluted one. DIdn’t know i can export Nomad’s camera.
I made two renders, one in Nomad, second in Blender with no materials. Now i’ll try to combine them in compositing
