: Users could extract ICC profiles from imported bitmaps or specify them during export, ensuring consistent color calibration from monitor to final output.
Adobe significantly expanded the internal asset library and utility tools in this build.
: Bakes surface displacement into a grayscale texture.
: Instead of guessing tiling values, Painter 8.1.0 allowed materials to automatically scale based on their actual physical dimensions (e.g., 20cm x 20cm).
This version introduced the ability to use data for materials.
: A viewport grid was introduced to help artists visualize scale relative to the 3D model. 3. New Procedural Content & Bakers
: Generates black-and-white maps for holes in high-poly meshes.
: Added 20 new grunge bitmaps and 2 new cloth patterns to increase texturing speed. 4. User Interface and API Enhancements
