 ArtRage Studio Pro 3.5 Most Realistic Tactile Experience — Closest to Actual Painting

Records & Plays Back Actual Paint Strokes, Creates Art Tutorials,

Improves Color Blending, Shares Content

 

January 24, 2012, San Francisco, CA – Ambient Design www.artrage.com, the leading award-winning creator of realistic art painting software for Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone, announced today that ArtRage Studio Pro 3.5 has won Professional Photographer magazine’s prestigious “Hot One” Award for Best New Gear, to be announced in the March issue of Professional Photographer.  ArtRage Studio Pro 3.5 lets you become a true digital artist by letting you digitally “paint,” just as you would in a traditional art studio.   ArtRage Studio Pro 3.5 and ArtRage for iPhone and iPad will be demoed at Macworld 2012 in San Francisco this week, January 26-28.

At the Nomad Brush Booth # 455, ArtRage for iPhone and iPad will be shown with the Nomad Brush.  At the ArtRage Suite #3020 at the Intercontinental Hotel (888 Howard St.), ArtRage Studio Pro will be shown working together with ArtRage for iPhone and iPad across Mac, Windows and iOS platforms (contact Karen Thomas kthomas@thomaspr.com for press meeting appointments). 

“As one of the photo industry’s biggest and most respected equipment competitions, the Hot One Awards represent the best new gear as chosen by a panel of independent professional photographers. This year’s winners are a collection of innovative new products from a group of companies performing at the top of their game,” said Jeff Kent, Hot One Editor, Professional Photographer magazine. 

“ArtRage Studio Pro version 3.5 provides the experience of painting digitally on a computer canvas with oil paints that smear and blend, and with watercolors that flow together into wet gradations.  Improvements in v3.5 include the ability to record and playback paint strokes, faster speed, scripting, content sharing and enhanced color blending tools. The user interface has also been augmented to streamline workflow,” said Professional Photographer. 

New ArtRage Studio Pro 3.5 Features: 

Recording/Playback:  ArtRage now allows Recording and Playback of paintings and automates repetitive tasks.  It records the painting as it happens, to play back later at original or accelerated speeds with the option of changing resolutions, reproducing the actual strokes that made up the painting dynamically for the viewer.

Create Tutorials:  Record art for posterity and create tutorials with annotations explaining techniques, to share the process of painting.  Add Note Bubbles and Spotlights that draw the viewer’s attention to areas of the canvas during playback. Create tutorials to share, explaining a certain technique or tool.

Share Content:  The ArtRage Package File system makes the process of sharing custom content, like stickers, presets and stencils, easy.  The Package system lets the user gather together as many custom resources as he or she would like and compress them into an easy to use data file that can be shared with other users and installed with a double click.  

Improved Color Blending:  Oil Paint and Watercolor blends faster and even more realistically. 

Multi-Threading Speed Improvements:  Users of multiprocessor or multi-core computers will see substantial speed increases.  Multi-threading support has been added to the tools and many of the processor intensive functions for increased speed for multi-core CPUs. 

Scripting & Sharing:  Scripts recorded in ArtRage can be edited manually.  The color of a single stroke or the tools used can be changed — almost every aspect of ArtRage can be controlled via written commands, including paint strokes, transformations, settings, built-in filtering and more.  Scripts can also be shared to teach and show techniques.

Designed Specifically for the iPhone – Actual Live Simulation of Properties of Real Paint 

Designed specifically for the iPhone, ArtRage for iPhone is compact, maximizing the creative space without hiding critical functions, such as tool and color selection. As the user paints, controls move out of the way so they don’t have to stop and manually adjust panels.  In addition, with support for Multi-Touch gestures, important shortcuts are also available without the need of any interface.  “ArtRage for iPhone fits the iPhone perfectly as a painting platform,” said Matthew Fox-Wilson, Creative Director, Ambient Design.  “It’s not special effects software, it’s an actual live simulation of the properties of real paint.”
 

Demos of ArtRage for iPhone at CES 2012 Available 

The different versions of ArtRage will be shown interacting across iOS, Mac OSX, and Windows platforms at CES 2012, Las Vegas, January 10-13, 2012 at a private suite to be announced.  Please contact Karen Thomas/Eva Yutani, Thomas PR to schedule an appointment kthomas@thomaspr.com / eyutani@thomaspr.com.

AMBIENT DESIGN SPONSORS INAUGURAL iAMDA MOBILE DIGITAL ARTIST CONFERENCE

ArtRage for iPad Launch Celebrated in New York and Worldwide with 40% App Discount During Conference
October 22, 2010, NY, NY — Ambient Design www.artrage.com is sponsoring the first annual MobileArtCon at NYU ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program) at the Tisch School of the Arts, October 22-25, 2010 in New York, NY. Organized by the iAMDA (International Association of Mobile Digital Artists), the conference is bringing visual artists, designers, musicians and app developers together from around the world to discuss art and music created on handheld touchscreen devices (iPhones/iPads, etc.) from a creative, technical and historical perspective. The event features artist presentations, app demonstrations, and forums by app developers.

The event follows upon the recent launch of ArtRage™ for iPad app by Ambient Design Ltd. ArtRage for iPad takes the award winning technology of the ArtRage desktop versions and packages it into a creative, artistic experience tailor-made for tablet computers.

“We went for a no compromise approach to achieve a highly optimized drawing and painting experience for ArtRage on the iPad,” said Andy Bearsley, Ambient Design’s Co-Founder and Technical Director. “ArtRage for iPad brings the user a real paint feel with wet watercolors, as well as industry-standard blend modes on tools and layers.”

ArtRage provides the highly satisfactory experience of actually painting with oil or watercolors. It provides oil paints that smear and blend on the canvas, watercolor strokes that merge to create soft, wet gradations and each different tool interacts on the screen the way it does in traditional art settings. The iPad user interface allows artists of all levels to unleash their creativity and to spontaneously draw, sketch, and paint with many artistic effects.

“Once you experience ArtRage, you cannot live without it anymore”, says Sarah Brody, Principal at Sarah Brody Design, a Silicon Valley-based, human interface design consultancy. “Now I will never miss an opportunity to express myself artistically with my iPad with ArtRage installed on it. With ArtRage you can almost smell the paint and feel the paper’s texture.”

Classically trained artists will readily adapt to the intuitive user interface of the digital versions of their tools like pencil, chalk, watercolor and oil brush, paint tubes, palette knife and airbrush, as well as canvas and paper. Children, K-12 students, and aspiring artists are comfortable getting started with painting and drawing. Files can be swapped with desktop versions of ArtRage on Mac and Windows for additional professional features and collaboration.

The desktop versions ArtRage 3 Studio and Studio Pro contain all features of the iPad version, along with additional tools such as stencils, rulers, stickers, sticker spray, glitter tools, custom color palettes and more. ArtRage is available on Windows and Macintosh, and it supports Wacom tablets and Interactive White Boards (IWB). ArtRage 3 Studio is also optimized for the new popular Windows 7 multi-touch screens.

In addition, photo files can be imported and converted into paint, reworked in oil or watercolor or serve as reference images while drawing. With its image tracing capabilities, ArtRage can select colors automatically for every new stroke. The ArtRage family of software products provides an affordable electronic canvas with a range of tools, colors, and palettes never seen before while maintaining the art studio experience familiar to artists, hobbyists, and casual painters.
