Livebrush & The Livebrush Project

[MrBiggz]

Here's one I found when I was looking for other possibly open source flame painting apps.

It's called Livebrush & The Livebrush Project

There's free version and 'Pro' version for $10.

It seems like pretty cool software! I downloaded the free version but really haven't had time to really dive into it!

Here's the demo video from youtube:

I want to say I saw this one a few years ago, but being a lazy filter guy, I said, that's nice and went on. Did the same for Flame Painter when I first saw this one a few years back too. I now have Flame Painter. lol

Not sure I want to now spend more money for this one and do not like using dumbed down free programs, but will keep this one in mind if I ever actually do decide to abandon filters and start drawing (but like ice in hades, I don't think that will be any time soon; lol).

Oh my.....another one!Did you downloaded this one Mrbiggz??

Oh my.....another one!Did you downloaded this one Mrbiggz??

I downloaded the free version of it. Although the $10 'Pro' version has a whole host of additional features. I played with is for about a half hour. Difficulty I had was changing the color on things. I think that's where I got frustrated and went to bed! =)

I really like the way the brushes flow... fascinating program.
Thanks for sharing it.You can get some video tutorials here.

Pretty cool program. It actually creates brush styles.

Here is how to change the colors.


I bought it by the way

A Big



For this

Wow that is both quick and awesome!

[Erisian]

It's incredible isn't it. An amazing piece of software!!!

[Rod]

Have you tried Flame Painter?

[Erisian]

I haven't tried that one Rod. Fraid I'm too tight to fork out the cash!

[lylejk]

I was the same as you Erisian and it took me over 2 years (and $3 more since they raised the price since then; lol) before I got it last December.

[Erisian]

Looks cool Lyle. Maybe one day...?

[Alonte]

it looks cool from the video, if i wasn't so cheap I'd buy it

[Rod]

Hey Lyle looks like some new brushes been uploaded to his (The Flame Painter) website?

Yeah; did download one of them the other day but it didn't turn out to be that fantastic, but keeping it anyway. I still wish there would be an auto stroke feature; say you can port a path into the program then stroke the path with said brush. I did email the guy and he said that would be a fantastic idea (he did reply back to me). You know how lazy I am. lol

[Erisian]

I thought paths would be a good idea for accuracy. I like using my Wacom but I'm not very accurate with lines. They get very wobbly.

[lylejk]

Even harder with a mouse Erisian. lol

[Erisian]

That's true. That's why I bought a tablet.

Being able to control the stroke with a user defined path would be pretty cool for writing text.

I downloaded the dragon brush and couldn't get it to work. I can select it in the small brush preview but it doesn't switch to it.All the other brushes work though.

Just downloaded and tried to use it an you are right Rod; it's a defective brush apparently. I do hope Peter does allow for path stroke in a future upgrade.
