Description

FocalPaint pushes digital painting into new dimensions of expression with a whopping 16 channels (4X more than most apps!). FocalPaint's 256-bit paint engine simulates thick paint and pigment mixing with realistic physics models. Create unique pigments with the spectral paint editor, and even add your own GPU Shader code for nearly limitless custom brush possibilities.

Features:

- Realistic 3D paint thickness and opacity

- Dozens of Brush Settings and Inputs
- Dynamic Textured Canvas simulates "tooth" and bumpiness
- Contextual color wheel mixer with additive (light), pigment, and subtractive modes
- 10 Standard Tube Paints: 5Y, 5GY, 5G, 5BG, 5B, 5PB, 5P, 5RP, 5R, 5YR
- Hue, Chroma/Saturation, Value sliders
- Color Mixing Palette

App tech issues

Hi I was just trying out this new app I discovered on my iPad when I downloaded and went into the app the screens were blank therefore I can’t see the canvas or anything paint settings to show on the screen I also did a few strokes with my apple pencil and it ended up glitch me back to the Home Screen, so I tried it on my iPhone and it did really well as it was supposed to be shown when I download but I was hoping if The app can be fixed for iPads Because this app seems interesting to test out as an Artist and looking forward to what it can do, thank you for your time 👋🙂

Developer Response ,

Do you know if your iPad has an A12X or newer processor (iPad 8th gen or iPad Pro 2018 or newer)? I am trying to add a warning pop up but I can't seem to prevent downloads from incompatible devices. In any case, I'm sorry you're having trouble!
