Auckland, NZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2011
Ambient Design (artrage.com), the leading award-winning creator of realistic art painting software for Mac, Windows and iPad, launched today the new version of ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro version 3.5 via its store at: artrage.com/artrage-store.html. ArtRage lets you become a true digital artist, providing the experience of actually “painting” digitally on a computer canvas with oil paints that smear and blend, and watercolors that flow together to create soft, wet gradations, just as they would in a traditional art studio.
Available for Mac, Windows, Interactive White Boards, Tablets & Touch Screens -Most Realistic Tactile Experience – Closest to Actual Painting
Available immediately for Mac and Windows computers, ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro 3.5 is the only art software that provides the most realistic tactile experience, closest to actual painting. Major improvements in version 3.5 include the ability to record and playback actual paint strokes, faster speed, scripting, content sharing, and improved color blending tools. In addition, there are many other new features, including improvements to the interface to smooth out workflow, tweaks to tools to give quick access to important functionality, and other changes that have been requested since the release of 3.0. For a full list of new features, see: artrage.com/artrage-whatsnew.html
New ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro 3.5 Features:
Recording/Playback: ArtRage now allows Recording and Playback of paintings and automates repetitive tasks. It records the painting as it happens, to play back later at original or accelerated speeds with the option of changing resolutions, reproducing the actual strokes that made up the painting dynamically for the viewer.
Create Tutorials: Record your art for posterity and create tutorials with annotations explaining techniques, to share the process of painting. Add Note Bubbles and Spotlights that draw the viewer’s attention to areas of the canvas during playback. Create tutorials to share your knowledge, explaining why you’re using a certain technique or tool.
Share Content: The ArtRage Package File system makes the process of sharing custom content, like stickers, presets and stencils, easy. The Package system lets you gather together as many custom resources as you like and compress them into an easy to use data file that can be shared with other users and installed with a double click.
Painting Tool Improvements:
- Loaded Palette Knife: Load paint on to the Palette Knife before using to create smooth strokes. Includes precise angle control of the Knife edge to create uniform strokes without worrying about how you are holding the stylus, blending as you go.
- Hard-Tipped Tools: Pencils, Crayons, and Chalks have improved pressure curves to allow more expressive strokes on the canvas with stylus pressure devices like Wacom tablets and tabletPCs.
- Improved Color Blending: Oil Paint and Watercolor blends faster and even more realistically.
Mutli-Threading Speed Improvements: Users of multiprocessor or multi-core computers will see substantial speed increases. Multi-threading support has been added to the tools and many of the processor intensive functions for increased speed for multi-core CPUs.
Scripting & Sharing: Scripts recorded in ArtRage can be edited manually. You can change the color of a single stroke or the tools used – almost every aspect of ArtRage can be controlled via written commands, including paint strokes, transformations, settings, built-in filtering and more. Scripts can also be shared to teach and show techniques – something that sharing basic content doesn’t do.
