Over deze software

Main Features:

• Paint: Digital painting with many types of brushes, including large custom images, image sequences (animated brushes that can be edited on a timeline), natural media brushes, particle brushes to spray paint grass and shrubberies or animate smoke and fireworks, bristle brushes for realistic oils and acrylics, “Orbicle” brushes with audio controlling their appearance, foliage brushes that grow and let you paint a complete tree in a single brush stroke, with 3D depth and ambient occlusion shading, plus a huge complement of presets.
  
• Animate: Video frame editing and post work for special FX, traditional frame-by-frame animation and working with video on video, time stretching, motion estimated interpolation, batch processing, frame repairing, motion tracking, chromakeying, green screen compositing, rotoscoping, rendering of frames with added 'breathing' motion, exposure sheet for manual syncing against an audio track. Remove camera motion to simplify rotoscoping and other effects, then re-apply the camera's motion. There's also a very comprehensive set of filters that work in realtime, most of them animatable either directly or on a timeline.
  
• 3D: Capabilities include a 3D Designer for creating 3D terrains from elevation maps, adding erosion and sediments, coloration based on elevation and slope, ambient occlusion and raytraced shadows. Puppy Ray rendering with global illumination and ray tracing on CPU or accelerated on the GPU, volumetric clouds with the animated Particle Modeler, and various filters for stylized lighting and perspective effects. You can render an animation wherein you fly across your landscape and keyframe its parameters. Exports for .obj format, erosion and elevation maps, texture map, shading maps, 3D mesh and feature maps (grass, rock and snow regions.)
  
• FX: Numerous filters for post work in various categories: Adjustment filters, Coloring, Blur, Photographic filters, Sharpening, Convolution filters, Transformation filters (including 3D transforms,) Video related filters, Cleanup, Artistic filters, Stylize filters, Rendered effect filters, and a collection of Animated filters. There is are also sets of filters that combine the main image with the alternate swap image. You can have multiple animations stored in memory or on disc in order to have them handy to combine and composite.

Additional controls in the context bar that appears with several tools. Main Tools found in the toolbar:

• Brush tool: for drawing and painting: Simple, Airbrush, Pen, Pencil, Oils, Tempera, Pastels, Watercolor, Effects brushes (such as Smear), Organic effects (flowers, stars,...), User, Particles, Bristle brushes, Paint on alpha and plenty more brush presets in the media Browser.
  
• Fill tool: to fill with palin colors, gradients or even patterns and images, straight or warped into the shape or selection
  
• The linear tool: draws along a sraight line, but with the current brush, whatever that brush does may not be so straight
  
• The Curve tool: (it's almost like a paint program in itself). Includes animated features for rotoscoping and animating the shape of the curve. Insanely powerful. EVen simulates easing in and out at start and end of the brush stroke, to simulate the look of a tablet pen when using a mouse!
  
• Gradients, Lens flares and special effects: Linear gradient, circular gradient, gradient modes, linear gradient grabber, cumulative selection fader, Warp tool, Nova, awesome(!) lens flares, and Lightning
  
• Text tool: render the text into the image, or as selection to alpha channel, or make it the custom brush, even animated brush
  
• Rectangle too: Hollow or Filled. Hollow is with current brush, filled is with current Fill settings.
