Great, you gave me an idea and I reinstalled feather because I didn’t understand anything. I imported something in feather and I redrew the outline to make it look like a drawing and wow it works great. ---

I love feather - can import from Nomad, use the mesh as a base to draw on & then export back to Nomad for rendering etc. Works really well. ---

Yeah feather has been amazing and has some real potential to be a very functional addition to the nomad sculpt workflow. Here is another render I did yesterday with a spaceship model I made in feather. Still can’t believe I’m getting renders like this on the iPad lol! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/7/4/746602156f08a75f6c88f6ed0565ccf8e862dce1.jpeg) ---

Here are a couple more pieces that I completed last month. The only thing I did with the astronaut in the tube was put it in procreate to add the color gradient and I did draw in his “lifeline” because it was kind of an after thought. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/2/c/2c918bcdc89a01371a272dfec641c4b8a93f58bf.jpeg) ![IMG_2553](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/1/e/1e5fd695d231f0df068225cbeae05ef1a7af2ec2.png) ---

I love it, really. How create the tube interior? the background of the second image is with procreate? the noise effect is cool ---

Yeah the tube I made with rings that I attached to a curve in nomad I’ll attach a video. The background on the second was a digital painting I had done and I just set it as a reference image then rendered it out.

These are wonderful! If you are interested, you can find some of my experiments with matcaps included here > [@Sculpted joy](https://forum.nomadsculpt.com/t/sculpted-joy/1235/73): > > This is very kind. I guess a real master have to recognise that he have to learn as much as he can everyday. In this way you are wright. Thank you pray:t2relaxed One older comic test. Self made Matcap + some rake sculpting for hatching. The only way I found to make good looking hatching possible without UVs. With curvature only And there > [@Sculpted joy](https://forum.nomadsculpt.com/t/sculpted-joy/1235/141): > > man_facepalming joy grinning You can use any painting app to produce those matcaps. I used Infinite Painter. I find sculpting structure on an extra layer is best to really control hatching etc, but it is ram expensive. ---

So smart, 😃 I thought about many ways to made this but not a curve with rings ---

Haha I don’t know about smart, but thanks! It’s fun messing with different shapes to see what can be done with them. ---

Thank you! Oh man!!! Your work is incredible! So wait I’m not understanding how you got that hatching/shading to work so well!?! You used another layer? Did you just choose your composition then sculpt on a new layer until the hatching was no longer distorted? ---

Here is another interesting idea I was playing with. I created a screen capture of a light sweep using a toon matcap, then I imported the video into procreate as a video and the did some 2d animation over it. Pretty cool effect I think, gave me a ton of ideas.

These are great new pieces! Love them and your renders are top notch. Regarding your question: The hatching is sculpted. Matcaps always blur and get deformed when projected. So what I did was using a simple Matcap. Subdivide object enough Add a layer And on this layer I added hatching with the rake brush where it was needed. Full fake 😂 But it does the job if you only do one angle. Or you need a layer for each camera. But hatching fake is done very quick. I’ll post a new NPR now. Had some nice inspiration at discord to activate an old technique I developed (probably reinventing the wheel😂) ---
