We're pleased to announce a new Texture Painting plug-in for CrackArt. These are some of its most important features:

- Draw, Erase, Blur, Smear and Fill tools.

- Brush options like opacity, spacing, jitter, fade, etc.

- Multiple blending modes and opacity for the brush stroke.

- Use bitmaps as patterns for painting*.

- Two layers. Paint on the canvas layer and protect your work on the background layer.

- Support for multiple objects.

* CrackArt also includes a Texture Baking plug-in and procedural textures and materials, very useful to create patterns for 3D painting.

CrackArt includes import and export plug-ins for 3dsmax and Maya.

CrackArt is an open source 3D texturing application under active development. Please send us your comments, suggestions and bug reports, or send us an email if you're interested in becoming part of this project.

Not that I mind this thread being here, since anything OSS can, stretching the definition a bit, fall under programming for the learning material it intrinsically represent, but maybe for announcements like this you would have better luck and visibility with a news or GD thread.

Let me know if you want it moved.

Hi The_JacO,
Thank you, yes, probably moving it to a news thread would make it more useful.
Thanks again.

Just before moving, I noticed the original post is from July, so moving this thread would be like moving it to the rubbish bin :)
News is, for obvious reasons, ordered chronologically and not by most recent post.

Since your second post in the same thread is pretty recent, you might want to re-post that in news yourself as a new thread.
Again, not that I mind moving or leaving something, more thinking of visibility here :)

Cool, I will add a new post... I didn't before because I didn't want to post in all forums.
Thanks,
Diego
