Moreover, this release makes brush strokes to be dependent on view rotation and view zoom, adds new symmetry modes like rotational, snowflake, vertical, and vertical+horizontal, and expands the flood fill functionality with new feather, gap detection, offset, and other parameters. The tool is also now cancellable and respects the Colorize, Erase, and Lock Alpha modes. The Floodfill tool got a lot of attention too, now supporting offset, feathering and gap detection, opacity, blend mode, and source. New features in MyPaint 2.0 include linear compositing and spectral mixing (pigment mode), layer views, new brush settings including gridmap, offsets, pigment, posterize, and extra smudge settings, as well as new brush inputs including attack angle, barrel rotation, base radius, direction 360, gridmap x/y, and zoom level. The developers explain that layer mode featured in this release uses a brand new compositing method, making files created with MyPaint 2.0 incompatible with earlier releases. Furthermore, the brush stroke data created in MyPaint 2.0 won’t work properly in previous versions of the software.

This version replaces the MyPaint 1.2 series as the latest stable release due to important changes to brush parameters and a whole new layer mode.

If you’re looking for a no-frills drawing and painting application that works great with Wacom-like graphics tablets, MyPaint 2.0 is now available for download and it’s a massive update.Īfter more than a year in development, MyPaint 2.0 is finally here and it looks like it’s a major release adding many goodies for passionate digital artists.
