I’ve been playing around with [Shade](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shade/id1402522815) and thinking how cool it would be to be able to import custom shaders from it into Nomad. Though, lack of UV aside, I know performance would be an issue. Trying to load nomad sculpts into Shade makes it grind to a halt. Stephane is a wizard though so … 🤷‍♂️ ---

Yep you can forget about it 🙂 . UV support isn’t even planned at the moment. ---

Hahaha that’s about what I figured. Thanks for killing my dreams so mercilessly. 😁 ---

He said “it’s not planned at the moment” it’s important lol. Our dreams are not dead yet. 😁 ---

Hahaha. See, custom shaders wouldn’t even necessarily require UV support. There’s a lot you can do without UV maps. Ah well. 😁 ---

I could be wrong about this… But at least it looks like we may be getting emissive rendering in the next release 😃 (If I’m understanding “additive transparency” correctly) ---

I read that as being able to paint just the transparency channel onto an area without the edges getting darker (which is something I’ve noticed). I could be wrong, though. 🙂 ---

It’s not emissive, simply an alternative to the current transparency blending. It’s not a big thing. ---

Paint transparecy is a strong feature for 3d designer. ---

hehehe…I stand corrected. That’s my bad.
