#Open canvas vs artrage 5 for free
I generally use it just for some of its filter effects to help turn sketches into nice lineart.Īll three of the programs I mentioned are available to use for free so if you have an interest check them out. I can't comment much on how easy it is to use or anything though.

Not really my fave but if you transite from traditional medium, its nice. Its a vector based art program and is likewise a freeware program. ArtRage: simulating traditional medium like oil paint here and there. Its pretty easy to learn and there are a lot of tutorials available.Īnother program you might enjoy is Inkscape. I use it quite often and find it to be a really fantastic program. It is essentially a "poor mans" form of photoshop. You might also want to check out the General Image Manipulation Program or GIMP at As for the OpenCanvas, unfortunately I never heard of it. (This feature was dropped from all the later versions.) Some professionals claim that Photoshop can do all that and a thousands more things. If you are getting openCanvas, follow the steps below. If you are getting ArtRage 5, please follow the same instructions as ArtRage Lite above.

For instance you can LAN up with people and do some multi-user painting. a) If you are getting ArtRage 5 or openCanvas (information about the software will appear at page bottom), select 'Get the secret key'. Is it opencanvas 6 or 7 I haven't chosen which software to get since I want to compare them before I decide which to go with. However, the website doesn't tell me which version of opencanvas I'll be getting if I choose it over ArtRage 5. Its a lot like an improved version of Paint which comes with Windows although it also has some interesting networking features. Hello I have an artist 13.3 pro and I didn't know until now that it came bundled with software. Its not very advanced but its easy to use and interesting.

OpenCanvas version 1.1 was the last freeware release before it became a paid product. You should check out the old freeware version of OpenCanvas. While I can't comment on this version of OpenCanvas I can tell you some things you might be interested in.
