Painter is, and has always been, known for its vast collection of
innovative brushes. We’ve built on that in Painter 2016, adding 131 new
brush variations, the most in any version of Painter. But it’s not just
about the numbers, it’s about the innovation behind these brushes. Our
new
Audio Expression
brushes respond to sound by changing size, direction and color. You can
turn on your favorite music and watch as the brushes react while you
move the mouse or pen across the canvas. Have you ever wondered what
your favorite song would look like? Now you can find out!
In Painter 2015, we added the revolutionary Particle brushes. Well,
in Painter 2016, we took this a step further by allowing you to combine
Particle technology with other brush types.
Dynamic Speckles,
for example, combine Particle system physics with brush thickness
control, allowing you to create luscious Natural-Media brushstrokes.
These speckles are truly dynamic, and are generated as you paint.
Dynamic Speckles
Our new Special Media mixing capabilities let you use particles with
either Liquid Ink, Watercolor or Impasto to create a level of realism
that has never been seen in the digital world. The creative
possibilities available to you in Painter 2016 are unlike anything we’ve
released before.
Special Media
We’ve also listened to Painter artists, to gain a better
understanding of what they want to see in newer versions of Painter. A
common theme in this feedback was speed and performance. Well, ask and
you shall receive!
If you thought Painter 2015 was fast, wait until you get your hands
on 2016! The brushes in Painter 2016 are up to 3 times faster than
Painter 2015, and 9 times faster than those found in Painter X3. This is
by far the fastest and most stable version of Painter to date.
We’ve also added the ability to customize the user interface in more
ways than ever before. You can set the color scheme to either dark,
sepia, frost or default grey, giving you more control over your
workspace. Tired of the same old background color? Change the UI
background to any color on the Painter color wheel. It’s that simple!
New UI Options
Of course, we couldn’t list all the new features of Painter 2016
here. These are just a few highlights. For a complete list of what’s new
in Painter 2016, or to try it for yourself, visit our
