I sorta wrongly assumed that there'd still been no updates since 2015, but guess there were.

Before 2017 your last update was in 2015 dude, it sorta gives the impression that you're not exactly working full time of this if there pass 2 years between updates, what is there to misunderstand about that huge gap? It's like how I didn't draw for a full year once, I didn't upload anything cus I wasn't drawing, was that simple. But in hindsight it seems a little unfair of me since I haven't really tested the program in a rather long time and you just released an update the other day, I just strongly remember 2 years of no updates, and how many years ago was it when you said a macOS release was around the corner after which you would make a linux version? What ever happened to that? I'm still pretty bugged out about that. Yes I did notice that Black INK does have superior performance, I never called you lazy, I said development seems stunted. Or the possibility to code the pixel behavior of any brush with a code editor ( which is not really usefull for an artist only point of view but open an infinity of possibility to create new brushes effects ).įinally we are not focused to redo a new Photoshop or Corel Painter clone but to create a Digital Drawing program that use generative and procedural algorithm everywhere ( and I hope that one day we will be the Houdini of 2D Painting ) ). We are more focused on quality than in feature quantity.Īnyway a difference between Black Ink and Paintstorm is the ability for Black Ink to handle ( for example ) a 10Kx10k drawing with a smudge effect flawlessly. I think you misunderstanding our philosophy. You can give your advice and judgment about what is Black Ink and Paintstorm but I'm quiet upset when you say that we done nothing and are “lazy”.

Originally posted by u2bleank:Rabcor : Black Ink is actively developed and I don't like your words and your insinuation. It doesn't have Black INK's iconic brush engine but, other than that, I think it's the new king of digital painting, I really like it but it's somehow suspicious how strikingly similar they look and feel, either way, for those waiting for Black INK to finish some time next century, you can try this instead while you wait. Just check out the free trial, some aspects of the interface are eerily similar, and I'm even finding that some issues (such as choppy cursor movement) which I'm getting on BlackINK also happen in Paintstorm, it's like as if the code were copied, they even also did it in OpenGL, support macs and have a working Linux beta.Įither way, it seems like the development on BlackINK is still stunted while Paintstorm is basically wrecking photoshop and even the king (Corel Painter) for digital painting purposes. I'm finding that Paintstorm Studio 2 has an uncanny similarity with BlackINK, I mean I'm thinking like it may have even been done by the same developers.
