Welcome back to 3D News, the newsletter for digital artists. Every week, I handpick the best links to ensure you stay ahead in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
3ds Max Script: Bulk Editor
JokerMartini has launched a powerful new tool, Bulk Editor. It enables users to edit multiple objects, materials, controllers, and modifiers simultaneously, making it easier to manage large projects and maintain consistency across assets.
Why it matters: Managing a vast amount of objects and settings individually in 3ds Max can be incredibly time-consuming and prone to errors. Bulk Editor simplifies this process, allowing for efficient batch editing, which is especially useful for artists working on complex projects, saving time and money!
Gen Shape Fill: Vector Fill in Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator just unveiled a new feature: Gen Shape Fill (beta). This tool allows you to create a basic shape and Illustrator fills in all the details. Much like Gen Fill in Photoshop, but the difference here is that it creates vectors. The tool includes "Shape Strength" and "Detail" parameters for even more control over the result.
Why it matters: Traditionally, filling vector shapes required manual effort and a good eye for detail, which can be time-consuming. With Gen Shape Fill, artists can quickly experiment with different fills and find the perfect match for their designs, boosting creativity and productivity.
