Hello,
After watching the impressive video of Griatch, I wanted to know more about the possibilities to paint in Gimp.
I know that the most important of work of Griatch is done with MyPaint but I have seen some video of paint with Gimp.
I have tested the presets "GPS 2.0" created by Ramon Miranda for GIMP 2.8, which give easily a preview about the possibilities of Gimp for painting.
I wanted more information and I have seen some tutorials which deals of Gimp Painter, it seems that it's a standalone version based on GIMP 2.6 and not an addon to include in Gimp as GPS.
On the Gimp version 2.6, Gimp Painter allows to use 2 new tools (mix-brush and G-pen) which don't exist in Gimp, I wondered if with the improvements of Gimp 2.8, if Gimp Painter 2.6 can do tasks / actions that it is still not possible in version 2.8 ?
Would it have been possible to include the tools mix-brush and G-pen directly in the classic version of Gimp instead of creating another version separate ?
I have found some videos about a new version of Gimp Painter based on Gimp 2.8 and I have suprised to see that it is possible to include MyPaint brushes in Gimp and use it very easily.
MyPaint in Gimp :
New version Gimp Painter :
It is possible to rotate canvas by any degree :
Is this kind of development is very difficult to implement in Gimp or are there not enough interest for the gimp users that we don't see more users of Gimp Painter or more informations relayed by the developper or users ?
