Artrage 5 brushes software#

Another reason is the name conventions for some of the tools and parameters differ from industry standards and that means if ArtRage is not the first painting program you ever use, you'll have to 'translate' some of the names in your head, even if later on they make sense. So, for instance, the Palette Knife tool is for blenders and smudgers.

You can adjust to that pretty quickly since this example is easy to figure out, but then you go to the Custom Brush presets and you find a whole category called 'Blenders'… that have the Custom Brush parameters instead of the Palette Knife ones.īut what frustrated me the most was the fact there is no global Opacity parameter for all of the brushes that you can change while painting, like you would with brush size, something that is present in every single piece of painting software out there. It is such a standard, I don't know what would be the reasoning behind not having it there. Not only you can't change a stroke's opacity on the fly with a keystroke or stylus button: some brush engines don't even have an opacity slider! What?! I spent a lot of time thinking it was me that was not finding the way, only to find out (after forum browsing and searching) it was by design. Let's move on.Īfter my opacity rant and brush parameter struggles, I found the Sticker Spray and though 'oh, a nice nozzle or color stamp type brush engine'.

It's a very robust engine with a complex set of parameters.
