ArtEngine version 2022.7.1

Release date: June 27th, 2022

New Features and Improvements

Normal Generation (AI) Node

  • Single image to material with the power of a real-world trained AI. 

  • The new node Normal Generation (AI) is the next step in democratizing material creation in ArtEngine as it allows for higher quality outputs of normals in the image to material workflow. It brings a simple solution to the material workflow by creating AI powered normals. The AI model was trained on high quality photogrammetry materials and it allows for more precise normal generation than the usual Shape from Shading technique.

  • Smart enough to maneuver through an image and add further depth and distinction in your Normal map. Makes phone image output data as close to photogrammetry results as possible, so you can capture your desired textures out and about on your phone and generate a higher quality Normal map than you can currently get with standard normal generation.

  • The Normal Generation (AI) node requires 8GB of VRAM to run. Please ensure you only execute one of these nodes at a time. 

CLI Improvements

  • You can now use solid color, metallic, and specular values nodes in the CLI workflow.

  • Node properties and input file paths can now be overridden using custom CLI parameters.

Resolved Issues

  • We fixed an issue where ArtEngine was failing to launch with the latest Nvidia drivers.

    We fixed an issue where If you drag and drop a material with fewer maps onto an imbued node, ArtEngine crashes. 

    We fixed an issue where the overwrite existing option in Unity Direct link was not working.

    We fixed some CLI issues where:

    The CLI --overrides option was leading to an error.

    CLI would output materials as a single image with only one of the maps.

KnownIssues

  • If one input folder has more maps than another, Batching will create extra black maps in the output folders to make up the difference in numbers, Mutation Revision doesn't work on resolutions that are not a power of two (e.g. 1K, 2K, 4K, etc).

  • On machines with more than one GPU, or with recently updated GPU drivers, users may encounter GPU driver errors and will need to re-install Artengine and/or verify that Artengine is configured to run on their NVIDIA GPU.

  • With re-opened projects that have Normal Gen AI executed, when moving the sliders the node will execute twice. To avoid this, please execute the node manually before adjusting the sliders.
