You can control the way pattern and texture elements are distributed along a stroke in the same way. In the demo video above, the software comes across as an unusual hybrid of Corel Painter and Manga Studio – with perhaps a dash of tools like Flame Painter thrown in.įrom the former, it takes the standard conventions of a natural media paint package: a fully customisable UI with a brush library, bristle brushes, layers, colour picker and a rather nice-looking paint mixer.įrom the latter, it takes the ability to paint texture and pattern elements along a stroke.īut it’s in the customisability of the brushes that Paintstorm Studio really catches the eye.Īll brush parameters are fully customisable by means of ‘graphs’ (not node graphs: they’re more like falloff curves), leading to some highly unusual stroke forms and effects, as shown in the video above.
