What's New in Paint Effects
 
 
 

New Leaf and Flower attributes

Paint Effects now includes Leaf Face Sun and Flower Face Sun attributes that let you change the position of leaves and flowers so that they face toward or away from the sun. A Sun Direction attribute sets the sun's location in the scene.

Leaf Face Sun and Flower Face Sun are based on phototropism, which is the movement or growth of a plant in response to the direction of a light source. Leaf Face Sun and Flower Face Sun apply to the following 3D Paint Effects strokes:

  • Flower and flower meshes
  • Plants and plant meshes
  • Trees and tree meshes
  • Underwater (that have flowers or leaves)

Leaf Face Sun and Flower Face Sun have been added to the Leaf Curl and Petal Curl sections of the stroke's Growth attributes.

Transfer All Strokes to New Object

A new Transfer All Strokes to New Object feature lets you transfers strokes from a painted object to another object. For example, you can use this feature to transfer painted eyebrows from a low resolution mesh character mesh to a high resolution mesh character.

Transfer All Strokes to New Object transfers all the paint effects strokes that are present on the object. If both objects have paint effects strokes, then selection order is used to determine the source and target objects. Otherwise, the object without paint effects strokes gets the transferred strokes.
