I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to create digital paintings. My overall impression of ArtRage is positive. I'm not sure if this was because I was using my drawing tablet, but, nonetheless, it was annoying and distracting. Luckily, it only seemed to happen when I was mucking with the canvas position and/or the zoom functions. Although it never crashed, the lag was noticeable and frustrating. I did, however, experience times when the application would hesitate and lag. This feature is amazing, and I absolutely love it.įor the most part, ArtRage is a solid application. Initially, this threw me off, but after a few minutes, I began to question why other apps don't do the same thing.
Navigating your way through the Pods can be daunting, but once you start using the program, you should have no trouble using them.Īn interesting point to mention about the interface elements is that they are automatically hidden whenever the brush approaches. While the important functions and tools are front-and-center, the application uses something referred to as Pods to keep the deeper functions out of the way until you're ready to use them. The interface, however, was a little strange at first. With the range of tools available in ArtRage, and the ease with which these tools may be used, you'll be digitally painting happy little tress in no time. You can also add a color bitmap to your canvas, or remove all of the textures and make the surface transparent. Or, you can customize some of the Canvas Properties (texture and roughness, to name a few) to give your canvas a personal touch. There are a variety of Canvas Presets from which you may choose. Another great feature of ArtRage is its canvas.
