[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 71 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Krita.org does a nice job of showing off their work and so does Blender They're not flashy, but they definitely make me want to download them and check them out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, I never got into illustration or 3d art/animation, but I sure as hell know what Blender is! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) It's quite the testament that the Blender name is known to the masses (hope you don't mind me calling you the masses) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deeferg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) The whole skateboard community thrives on it where I'm from, especially in this age of everyone wanting their own skate vid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Wow.

I got a couple of them into it when people came to me asking how I do my own edits, and from there it seemed to just be word of mouth. Thankfully I helped the first through get the basics down and they then passed that knowledge on and so forth, so it's worked out pretty well. A bunch of broke ass skaters will learn anything as long as it's free, it's why we spend most of our time falling. permalink fedilink source parent [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (5 children) How is Krita? I’m on a Mac and my biggest problem with Gimp and Inkscape has always been lack of MacOS integration. Mostly with the UI but even shortcuts were wrong when I tried it. And the mouse/trackpad gestures were the dealbreaker. I use Pixelmator, which hopefully continues to be a well developed pay once app, even though Apple just bought them. That and Sketch get me all the design tools I need for 2D and web. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* Your first problem is you're using a Mac. But beyond the obvious trolling, Krita excels at painting and is getting better at text as well -so far text tools have left to be desired but they've been working on a revamp for some years now, probably coming rather soon. What I find lacking as a daily user (I do illustration in Krita, animation in Blender) is the general image manipulation tools. Transforming, snapping, transform masks... are often either lacking in flexibility or poorly performing. I use Affinity Publisher on the side for compositing my illustrations with text for print or web, I wouldn't be able to rely on just Krita for that. But for painting, it's absolutely fantastic -performance wise, usability-wise, the shortcuts are so well thought out it's a joy to use. It's really made with painting in mind. If you like using filters, they have a good G'mic integration with hundreds of builtin filters. I can't comment on their mac builds though, you'd have to try them yourself. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago It's more of a paint program, and it's great if you have a pen and tablet. I haven't tried out gimp for while, but it was more of a photoshop alternative at that time. I think Apple's version of Krita would be Procreate, but Krita is free. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago I don't know about the Mac experience specifically but Krita was incredibly intuitive as someone who hasn't touched creative software in about 15 years.

They support Mac and iPad, and are comparable with the core Adobe suite. Its a buy once scenario (per major version release). My only problem is they don't support Linux. Of note, they were purchased last year by Canva, but it has been stated they will keep the Affinity products separate for purchase. permalink fedilink source parent
