I am totally in love with Rebelle and have been using it since version 3. I am now using version 7. Rebelle is very intuitive and easy to use. And many thanks to the many youtube videos by artists showing how they create their art using Rebelle.
I also have Flame Painter 4 and I've watched many of the tutorials on explaining it's interface and toolset. Vladmir Chopine has an excellent series on youtube.
However I am totally lost on what to use Flame Painter 4 for? I can not find a single tutorial on youtube by an artist who shows how he create art using Flame Painter 4?
Is the purpose of Flame Painter to add special effects to dgital illustrations, photographs, 3d renders? Or can it be used to create an image from scratch in the same way Rebelle or Corel Painter can?
Kindly entlighten as I an totally confused by what the purpose of Flame Painter is.
And many thanks for Rebelle. It is second to no one when it comes to 2D.
Cheers & many thank...

I own Flamepainter 4 too and i would say the purpose
depends on your needs.
It could be used to add a particle effect like rain, snow, fire,
sparkles to a Photo

It could also be used to create unique paintings with it

i use it for symmetrical Pattern creation

The Features i love are:
it could import SVG vector graphics
it has a real symmetry with particle brushes
(which Corel Painter have not)
While i and others see a lot of potential in Flamepainter
i dont know if i would recommend it to anyone.
The Software is old, no updates since years.
The Brush system is .... (put any word you like here)
while the particle brushes are fine, but it lost its name
and selection when you change some parameters so you have
a hard time to find out which brush was selected
There are also no comments from the devs about the future
of Flamepainter
I find this sad and have no high hopes about it.

Thanks kindly for your reply, it is much appreciated. Sound like Flame Painter is somethling like PD Particles which I do own an older version.
I own Painter 2022 and Corel sends me frequent e-mails about purchasing special effects and particle brushes for. Which I have not purchased.

I looked at your links and I've seen these images before via the gallery for ALL apps.
I was looking more for painting tutorials for Flame Painter as I can not find any.
Plenty of videos for an overview and tool explanations, but none for how to.

your welcome
If you study this picture you can already figure
out a lot. I mostly just experiment myself.
One of the best things in Flamepainter are the vector layer,
every brush you paint on it remains editable so you could
tweak them and your paint to your heart desire.
You could use more than one vector layer btw.
I will create a little Video, will take a few days
will note you then here.

I purchased Flame Painter a few years ago. I have studied pictures. I have experimented with it. I still do not know how to use Flame Painter.
Unlike Rebelle, Flame Painter is one of the most confusing unintuitive applications I have tried to learn since TrueSpace 3 or Blender 2.X. It was only Blender's revamp GUI that brought me back to it.
