The tool in Manga Studio can do both these things easily.ģ) The eyedropper sampler tool now works differently for some reason - there's a setting for area of sampling. Again, very useful and expected out of a perspective tool, but can't be done in AR.) why can't I tilt the horizon line?! (I'm an illustrator and that was one of the first things I wanted to do. why can't I create a 3 point perspective grid? (I suspect "Because it's too difficult, so we didn't bother.") It's quite disappointing, especially after having worked with Manga Studio's excellent analogue. (they're monochromatic and quite similar, I keep spending quite a bit of time looking for the right tool)Ģ) I specifically updated for the Perspective tool, because I was going to rely on it in this new project. I started using the docked mode, which is fine except for the tool icons. Instead I spent a whole day somewhat frustrated.ġ) Changes to the Preset menu added a column for Groups and this space is completely wasted since I don't use Groups, it threw off the way I had my layout arranged and now I can see less of the painting. I updated to AR5 before starting a project (always a good idea, right? ) and thought it should be fine. For that matter, the Cloud is another thing I don't trust. Feels like they can dip into my computer at will. It feels invasive like other people have to be giving me permission to paint or write or whatever. Have not tried this latest version yet 4 and 4.5 worked on AV Linux fairly well.I agree about being tied to the internet. I am hoping that Art Rage 5 will work on my AV Linux operating system, and Debian 8.3, using the WINE Application. Seems every program has pros and cons depending upon your personal use. I have also tried this plug in offered by Google called the Nik Collection yet this does not work on any Art Rage programs yet works well on older programs like "U-Lead Photo Impact 5" and Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9" and Corel Paint Shop Pro X. I really like this plug-in and the way it works with graphic arts programs. The plug in does not work on Art Rage 4.5 or 5. I have this old plug in program called the KPT collection that works very well with that version on an older Pentium 4 with Windows XP. I personally like Art Rage 4.0 version better than 4.5 and 5. Have not tried this latest version yet 4 and 4.5 worked on AV Linux fairly well. Perhaps if I had successfully made a good living selling my artwork on line I would feel much different and then it would be worth all the troubles and expense in having the latest and greatest. Again having the internet is far more expensive since you always have to spend more money upgrading hardware and software, and unfortunately I am poor. I want to use computers for productivity and the use of software not playing cat and mouse with the bad guys who are much smarter than me with gaining access to your computer and infecting it with destructive code. Far better and safer considering the nightmare of malicious hacking and malware today. That is the way I like using computers, for software not internet time consuming problems and temptations. From my beginning years in college back in the 1980's and 1990's until the 2010's decade computers were primarily used to run software, and the user generally had total control of everything they did on a computer. I really despise and have severe negative criticism about how software of the past few years has to be tied into internet use for upgrades. I doubt the software has reached it's limits, yet my personal computer hardware and lack of internet connection has lead me to reach my limits with newer versions.
