ARTRAGE STUDIO PRO WINS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER MAGAZINE’S “HOT ONE AWARD”

ArtRage is a stylish, intuitive painting and drawing package that makes it easy to produce natural looking artwork on your computer. Its wide range of artistic tools lets you get right down to the creative process without forcing you to learn complex or technical controls.

• Stroke oil on to the canvas with the Oil Brush or Paint Roller, then flatten it out and blend it using the Palette Knife. Lay down blobs of paint with the Paint Tube and smear them around, thinning them out over the canvas as you go.
• Paint delicate, translucent strokes that interact with the wetness of the canvas to flow together and create wet gradations of color using the Watercolor Brush.
• Use the Airbrush to spray a fine mist of paint over the canvas that creates subtle tints without affecting the texture of your other brush strokes.

New ArtRage 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 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, explaining 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 the user gather together as many custom resources as he or she would like and compress them into an easy to use data file that can be shared with other users and installed with a double click.

Improved Color Blending:  Oil Paint and Watercolor blends faster and even more realistically.

Multi-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.  The color of a single stroke or the tools used can be changed — 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.

 ArtRage Studio Pro can be purchased on the ArtRage website for $59.90, down from $80.
