Been working on getting a solid comic book look using mostly the post processing tools in nomad. Just exported the render to procreate to add the paper texture. Having tons of fun with this! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/e/5/e55aaca0bada7baa1637b919a131d613c1a6f5bf.jpeg) ---

The settings used on nomad and how is the nomad render before export to procreate ---

Oh ok yeah this is actually how it looks in Nomad sculpt! I did not edit anything in procreate other than add the paper texture and my signature. So happy to get this look right out of the app. I used a toon shader that i had created in procreate for the whole scene, then went into the post processing settings and just played around until i was getting the exact look i was going for. The texture on the “blocks” was just an alpha map I made using JSplacement, then applied after I had uv unwrapped them. Here is an instagram post that I just put up that shows a rotation of the scene in nomad.

wow looks super cool, then use a matcap? may I ask to view the shader how is? I’m very interested ---

Here are my post processing settings that I used. The only thing this doesn’t show it that I also cranked up the grain to about .4 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/a/7/a7d00f80d70170056446c98773e9e44654344800.jpeg) ---

I mean I don’t really think so. The only difference I see is that I did add a bunch of texture with brushes which helps add to the effect. ---

NO thats great! I think the key is giving the Curvature setting something to respond to. A little extra geometry goes a long way. It almost serves as a way to add shadow “line art”. Keep messing with it and you will find what you are looking for. It took me quite a while to narrow in on what I was looking for. ---

Yes, curvature is one key, thanks for sharing 😀 ---

Here is another piece that I did that combined a pbr render with subsurface scattering applied to most of the scene, then overlayed it with another render using a toon style matcap. A majority of the sculpt was actually done in an app called “FEATHER 3D” for iPad. It is a lot like some tools in blender that allow you to draw with geometry in 3d space. The first 2 images here are the renders that I used to create the last image, a combination of the 2. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/b/3/b30c181229eda1f0a5e27177843a01834d23c968.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/b/5/b58c06f1ae1406ab02b8434814bf50825d46a8c9.jpeg) After combining the 2 renders. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/9/9/999c53c854bfbad7ecd7337eba57e3059fc4c3fd.jpeg) After applying paper texture in procreate. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/8/7/87b5f956a93df759842b50fb9dcb43fbedbdcff6.jpeg) ---
