This time we take a quick look at Matcap & Cubemap Creator recently published by bagoof on cables.gl. Make matcaps for your projects directly in the browser. Want to add something? Let us know or just edit the patch and add new features - "clone and edit".
We also plug some matcaps into a demo project and you can check out how to animate the matcap texture to make some cool effects and save some processing power.
