i have :D its a nice paint program:)

This was one of my first quickie pics I did with it..haven't had a chance to 'really' play with it

I wonder if there's anything in this program that I don't already have in Corel Painter, Dogwaffle, PhotoShop, DeepPaint(2D) and Zbrush...

Dogwaffle has some particle brushes...but Twisted Brush is loaded with them...some already made to where you can draw vines with flowers..and iirc, you can create your own..can't remember if DW can do that or not.?

Actually, maybe it is Dogwaffle Im thinking of instead of particleIllusion...Dogwaffle on steroids comes to mind when thinking of TwistedBrush :laugh:

heh, maybe I'll have to add TwistedBrush to my ever-growing software library.

Looks a decent program, but looking at the screenshots on their site, yet again I see a graphics software developer develop a god awful colour palette for their app!! Artists want colour wheels...it should be a core basic for any graphics app!
Sorry, but it just anoys me to see such a basic requirement not even being considered.

LOL, ...on steroids, I like it.

yeah, Project DOgwaffle has fascinating particle brushes, you can even find it in the freeware version 1.2 but they're more advanced in PD Particles ($19) and PD Pro. (currently on sale at 29% off through the 29th).

You can find some tutes here:

and

One thing I like in Twistedbrush is the brushes which feel a bit like clay modeling, like painting metaballs. They're called meta blobs I think.

Ken has also added support for Lua scripting in a recent version of T.B. Pro Studio, so you can share Lua filters with others now like Dogwaffle, the GIMP and Artweaver. See www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/lua

I'm starting tutorials on using Twistedbrush and Dogwaffle together. www.thebest3d.com/pdpro/tutorials/ptb

If you like a choice of color wheels try PD Pro (Dogwaffle). And then try the Harmony color picker, wow. and then try the color Mixer, and you'll feel like a real artist again. Where like on a real painter's palette you can add dabs of paint color and mix and blend them into the 'wheel' and make your own color palettes like in the real world..... ok, without the occasional spills and funny fumes.
