Release date: June 15th, 2021
In order to avoid any conflicts due to the name change from Artomatix ArtEngine to Unity ArtEngine, the software requires a manual uninstall if you are currently using a version before 2020.4.1. The default location for the uninstall file is: C:\Program Files\Artomatix\Artomatix\unins000.exe Batching solution is available for testing. Please refer to the Batching page for more details. |
ArtEngine Templates
Templates is a new feature that allows you to export any part of your project’s Node Graph. The export contains the selected nodes and their set properties. This way, you can import any Node Graph into a different project seamlessly.
To create a new template, select the nodes that you want to be in the template from the Node Graph, right-click, and choose Create Node Graph Template. If you have any input bitmaps in your template, ArtEngine will automatically create a placeholder for them. The placeholder can be replaced from any project by dragging and dropping a bitmap asset onto it.
You can view and manage your templates in the Library panel, under a new section called Templates. You can right click on any template to perform any of the following actions: Show in Explorer, Rename, Open into Project, Delete, and Edit Description. You can find a number of built-in system templates in the Templates panel. These templates are shipped with ArtEngine, to simplify your workflow and save you time.
Color Space Conversion node
You can now control the Bit Depth and Color Space parameters of your bitmaps. The Color Space Conversion node allows you to convert images between 8, 16, and 32 bit depths, as well as between the sRGB and linear RGB color spaces. Please note that only .EXR file types can be used to export bitmaps with linear RGB.
You can now access the advanced settings of this node in the Properties tab, without having to switch to the pop-up window interface.
Fixed an issue where the project would be lost upon ArtEngine failing to save it.
Fixed an issue where imported AxF files became unusable after saving a project.
Fixed an issue where users could not launch the application if their Windows username has special characters in it.
Fixed issues with clashing licenses when there is more than one account on the same machine using ArtEngine.
Fixed an issue where users could not select input from the 2D viewer dropdown in the Crop node.
Fixed an issue where the changes made by the Normal Intensity node would not apply to the bitmap upon export.
Fixed an issue where exporting a project and pressing the Escape key closed both the "Overwrite" window and the Export window.
Fixed an issue where the Hard Shadow Removal node interface would display a solid red image after execution.
Fixed various issues around Split Material Node.
Nodes that are not recommended for Batching: Color to Mask, Color Muse, Mask Paint, Color Transfer, and in general nodes that are more specific to the individual bitmaps coming through.
There is an issue with Batching creating extra black maps for output folders to make up the difference in numbers, if one input folder has more maps than another.
