Optic?

Optic is our generative tools for designers, that let you iterate, ideate and shade at a much faster pace. It takes care of the time consuming part of developing a design proposal to let you focus on the parts that actually matter most!

Optic in Your Viewport:

Blender is now a very important tool for designers and stands at the center of many workflows. We integrated Optic directly inside of it to minimize the back and forth you need to do, and develop a new type of workflow, where iterations take place in 2D and 3D in parallel.

Features:

• View based generation: Setup multiple viewpoints and generate/refine/edit them directly.
• Optic latest features: Lenses/Inspiration image/latest Optic model, all the good stuff are there
• 2d editor: Leverage Blender's painting abilities to add details or direction to Optic. We created a layer system within blender to let you paint and erase directly from your view.
• Pie menus: Call the Optic menu directly from the viewport to avoid looking for option on the side panel. This offers a much faster process especially with the 2d editor.
• Cloud based computing: All the generation is happening on the cloud, so you don't need a very powerful computer to run it
• Privacy: We don't see nor store anything you generate, all the results only live locally on your computer.
• Cross-Platform: Windows/Mac/Linux

Installation:

• Choose the correct version you need (Blender recently introduced the Extensions that are replacing Addons in 4.2+, in that sense you should download the version that corresponds to your Blender version)
• Don't unzip the file, just install it from Blender's preferences panel
• Make sure that you have a valid subscription (if not, you can connect to optic.udinbv.com to subscribe)
• Login from the side panel
• Start playing around!

How to use it:

• Create a view
• Enable EEVEE
• Tweak the settings from the side panel or press D in object/paint mode to access the quick controls
  

FAQ:

Is Optic free?

• No. We are providing all the computing power and the development/training of the model, and in that sense it wouldn't be sustainable to give Optic for free. We are planning to generalize the access to it in the future though.

I am not a car designer, does it still work for me?

• Most probably yes! While are developing it primarily for car design because that is the field we know best and can be the most picky with, we try to make the model as versatile as possible! We train it on all kinds of designs, and in that sense it can handle a lot of other products or art subject. If you feel like you are more picky than us on some domain, we would be very curious to hear your feedback and directions to achieve better result in your niche!

Something doesn't work when I am using the addon, what should I do?

• Contact us! There is a discord button in the addon panel, you can have direct access to us there. Otherwise you can go to udinbv.com and contact us directly from there! We are always happy to engage and we do our best to resolve any problem/question you may have in the best delays.
