Incredibly vivid particle movements are just the basis, to which various graphic elements can be connected. Tracks can carry colors, gradients, and even images. Colors and gradients can be edited quite intuitively. There is a separate Library for Colors and for Gradients available to users. Furthermore, only one click is needed to incorporate an image into the trajectory. The combination of the paths creates a brush that can take a huge number of visual forms: from natural hair brushes, through flame imitations, clouds, various plants, to entire galaxies and imaginary worlds. It is important that the brush can be very accurate and predictable, but also very random, resembling a dust cloud. Escape Motions offers a great selection of brushes on their website. These brushes are created by different users and are available free of charge. All you have to do is drag & drop the brush directly from the website to the application. The liveliness of individual trajectories is preserved even after their creation. If you place another stroke on the vector layer, they can be further edited as regular vectors. Moreover, it is possible to import any vector shape in SVG format into the application and apply the selected brush to it. After the creation, you can still change the brush settings and achieve unexpected visual effects. Flame Painter 4 is perfectly connected with Adobe Photoshop using a plug-in located in the Layers Panel. With a single click, you can copy the layer to Photoshop and vice versa and significantly speed up and streamline the workflow. Just to emphasize, I believe creative efficiency is one of the main benefits of using Flame Painter 4. With Photoshop, the program also shares various ways of interweaving layers. Work efficiency is also supported by the wide range of keyboard shortcuts, as well as the possibility to customize and save your own user interface. Flame Painter supports Wacom tablets, Microsoft Ink technology, and touch screens. More tools, such as color filters, tools for tile creating, or transparent background are available. To publish your work in the Escape Motions Community Gallery, simply press “Publish” in the Flame Painter menu and write a description for the artwork. What is the new Flame Painter like? I think it takes firm steps in its unique way. This journey leads from the initial, very successful experimental tool to today’s high-quality professional software, which can solve many time-consuming and technical problems for individual artists and professional studios, while providing an unusual creative experience for creators and viewers. The latest version of Flame Painter is available for Windows and macOS for $89.99 on the Escape Motions website. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee and a 50% discount for existing Flame Painter 2 and Flame Painter 3 users. For more information, visit: www.flamepainter.escapemotions.com
