Painting preserves rendered lighting information, and modifies stroke opacity according to stylus pressure.ĭab Stencils and glazing brushes mimic traditional painting Once imported, the rendered 3D sculpt can be textured using Painter’s new Texture Cover and Texture Source Blending brushes. (The system isn’t a live link, and doesn’t export 3D data, so you’ll need to pose your model in ZBrush first.) The system comes with ZAppLink support, making it possible to send renders of a ZBrush sculpt directly to Painter, complete with alpha channels and automatic layer set-up. The update also further streamlines Painter’s user interface, and adds a number of workflow enhancements.įor 3D artists, the most interesting of the new features will probably be the texture painting toolset, which – among other things – lets you overpaint a 2D render of a 3D model in order to texture it. Corel has released Painter 2017, the latest update to its digital painting software, adding new tools for texturing or overpainting 3D renders, plus ‘dab stencils’ and glazing brushes mimicking traditional oil paint techniques.
