This software is designed for digital painting with a specific focus on creating pixel art. It is ideal for producing small graphics such as icons and sprites for games and websites but can also be used for standalone artwork.
Pixel Studio is a software product that specializes in pixel art, based on the key strong points from all of the Pixarra TwistedBrush artist software products. This particular form of art, sometimes referred to as retro, is characterized by its visible pixels and small image sizes. Pixel Studio is useful for creating icons, sprites, and other small images for games and websites, as well as standalone artwork. It is no surprise that pixel art is popular, as it is simply fun!
The software product comes with a wide range of features, including powerful pixel art editing, a specialized ArtSet for pixel art, a wide brush variety, and a 64 bit color painting system for the smoothest blends available anywhere. These features are all delivered through a clean and user-friendly interface that is designed for an easy and quick workflow. Tool panels can be auto-hidden to provide more space, and there is an extensive toolset available for use.
Clips and a Quick Command panel provide users with a configurable array of buttons, while layers offer easy access support. The brush effects system is truly outstanding with its over 500 different effects that can be combined in 28 effect layers, with each effect processed with 100's of modifiers. Brush compatibility with other Pixarra Studio products is assured, while the world's most powerful and flexible brush engine with the Pixarra brush effects system further adds value. Automatic saving of multiple copies of a user's work in progress is featured as well.
Tracing paper can be used as a guide and up to 9 floating reference Image panels can hold reference photos when working on a user's art. A sketchbook system that automatically saves a user's work to their sketchbook is also featured, making switching pages with a single key press (Page Up or Page Down) a breeze. The software product offers the ability to save work to a range of standard image formats, while its symmetry features cover all the standard Pixel Studio brushes. There are many more features available, making Pixel Studio an excellent choice for anyone interested in creating pixel art.
