Change Details

With Blender 2.80 we introduced a more flexible matcap system. One change we did was to multiply the matcap with the base color that was shaded. As matcaps contains diffuse and specular lighting in a single texture this lead to rendering artifacts. Artists were complaining that everything looked to metalic. We now have the option to have a separate `diffuse` and `specular` texture for matcaps. `shaded_color = diffuse_light * base_color + specular_light` For matcaps to support this feature they need to be multilayer openexr files with 2 renderpasses (diffuse and specular). In the future we can change this to first pass/second pass in stead of this naming convention. Example with separate specular highlights rendered {F7626679} {F7626757} Example matcaps for reference/testing {F7626685} {F7626684} {F7626750}
