TwistedBrush Pro Studio Feature Highlights:
Workspace. The workspace in TwistedBrush is designed to reduce the
number of floating windows that overlay your painting surface freeing
you from the chore of constantly shuffling windows around. Over 50
brushes are right at your fingertips, along with numerous color palette
options and tools that get assigned to your right button click to
further streamline your artist workflow.
Sketckbook. TwistedBrush works much like a real sketchbook. When you
start TwistedBrush it is like opening your sketchbook, it is immediately
ready to draw or paint on your page. When you're done with a page you
turn to the the next page. You never need to manually save your work.
But of course you can export your pictures to any number of the standard
image formats such as JPEG, PNG, BMP, TGA, TIFF, GIF, etc.
Page Explorer. Like a unlimited supply of sketchbooks, TwistedBrush
keeps your pages stored in books. Up to 500 pages per book and an
unlimited number of books means you'll never run out of paper! The Page
Explorer makes it easy to view and reorganize your pages in your
sketchbooks. Even assign a name to your sketch book if you like.
Select Brushes. In any digital painting program the core of the system
is in the brushes. Therefore easy access to the brushes is key. In
TwistedBrush there are over 2000 brushes included with more added all
the time. With the brush shortcut system your favorite brushes are
always ready for you.
ArtSets. ArtSets organize the brushes in TwistedBrush into groups of 60
brushes. There are a variety of types of ArtSets, from standard art
tools, specialize collections, patterns brushes, cloners, photo
retouching brushes, image brushes, etc.
Editing ArtSets. It is easy to create your own brushes and then store
them into your own ArtSets. All the tools used by the creators of
TwistedBrush to create brushes and ArtSets are included. You can even
create your own collections of brushes easily by entering the ArtSet
build mode and selecting brushes from other ArtSets. Then if you like,
make these your shortcuts with a press of a button.
Select Colors. Color selections are plentitful with the included color
palettes. Additionally you can tweak selected colors, create your own
palettes, select colors from your picture, from a reference image, the
scratch layer or even the trace source image. Dynamic palettes also aid
in color selections, allowing you to pick from the history of colors
used or hue ranges from your currently selected color.
Tools. All the tools you expect are available from the tool bar. When
you have a tool selected it is activated with the right mouse (stylus)
click. This means your drawing brush is always available and you never
need to reselect your brush to start painting again. The tools you
expect are here, eye dropper, cropping, moving, line, box, ellipse,
flood fill, gradiant, masking tools, text, drawing guides, brush rotate,
brush cleaner etc.
Layers. TwistedBrush includes an advanced system called Layers. With
layers you can split your work into transparent layers that sit on top
on each others and allow for incredible editing and adjustment options
even at the end stages of your painting. A wide range of layer blending
modes exist including many not available in any other painting program.
Paper Textures. Use paper textures while you draw to give the feel and
look of textured paper and canvas. Over 70 different surface textures
are included.
Masks. Masks are the artists masks you may be familiar with if you've
done traditional artwork. TwistedBrush has an extensive set of masking
capabilities that you'll use to protect and manipulate areas of your
work. Included is a magic wand with a number of different modes for
creating your masks. Or use a common shape or one of the many masking
brushes to create exactly the mask you need.
Filters. A filter allows for processing the image all at once.
TwistedBrush includes the full range of image processing filters ready
to use.
Tracing Paper. The tracing paper feature gives you the ability to turn
your canvas into tracing paper so that you can see a reference image
below it for use as a drawing guide. This is invaluable for many types
of work.
Cloning. Cloning, taking image data from somewhere else and placing it
into your painting, that is cloning. The source image for the
TwistedBrush cloning brushes can be a different image or from another
area of your current picture. The cloners can be used to render a photo
as a artist drawing, or to touch-up a photo or do many things
in-between.
Scripts. With scripts you can record your painting actions and play them
back, recreating your painting from scratch. This has value for trying
out different "what-if" scenarios, for teaching pusposes, for animation
production when used with the AVI saving option or just for
entertainment.
Pattern Brushes. There are a number of ArtSets that contain Pattern
brushes. These brushes paint a pattern on your canvas as you paint.
Adjust the size the pattern with the density slider. Categories of
patterns include, surface, materials, nature and others.
Brush Shapes. Most any brush in TwistedBrush can be further enhanced with a shape.
Drawing Guides. Drawing guides are a visual aid that appears over your
canvas to help you with perspective, distances, and general construction
of your artwork. A large number of different drawing guides are
included.
Image Brushes. Image brushes are powerful tools for both recreating the
flow and feel of working with natural media but also for allowing for
extraordinary painting effects. The Image Brushes : Basic ArtSet
includes the brushes you need that when used in combination of captured
images give you an unlimited supply of brushes.
Image Warp. When using the Image Warp tool you will be pulling, pushing,
pinching, and stretching your image as if it was make of rubber or
putty. These tools at the extreme case can be fun for wildly adjusting a
photo as shown here. But used with more finese they are invaluble for
making minor adjustments to your photos or artwork saving you countless
hours or re-working in more labor intensive ways.
