This is a long-waited version. A lot of new powerful features have been added. Shader Language support gives a whole new dimension to this software. I am already testing it and seems to work perfectly.

A big "thank you" to the development team.

[cabal]

Really really nice Super thanks, nice work, keep it up!

[markusantares]

I am already testing it and I like the new features you added to the program. Big thanks!

There is only one little thing that keeps annoying: I need more layers.
Is there something planned to raise the maximum of layers?

[jimkricket]

Thank you, Bleank team for doing such a great job!

I love you all!

[marije]

YES! This is amazing! Thank you a lot, also, for making the cursor bigger. I can finally see where I'm drawing! Blur and smudge make me whole as a person.

The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to rearrange the brush order since the new brushes made it kind of messy.

You're right the only way is to use the search box..or the Favorite slots but it's not ideal
We will do something for that

I'm only at the timeline 02:31 of the video preview of these new release and i haven't a vocabulary wide enough that help me to say how much i love you guys

Great update. Lots of fun, too.

However you probably should have made a series of videos for the release and sale, marketing-wise.


Love the noisy-scatter-smudge. Is it possible to have a noisy and/or scatter blur? Just curious if the power is there to create that.

I also noticed you can have a texture brush. I'd like a little more control, like making a lot of vegetation brushes and choosing where and at what size and rotation to place each single instance of a texture. Is that possible? Like a gray-scale or full color stamp? Including the full colors of the original image?

jaycephus :

sure all brush effect you describe is possible with the current version BUT you have to learn ( perhaps ) shader coding for that.
My advice ( if you want to ) is to start with more simple samples like varying the color of the brush.
See how the code is made with current default brushes pick a simple one and try to play with it
