Description

Impasto creates thick oil painting on canvas, as well as on papier-mâché, stucco, and worn concrete. Controls allow for a great variety of styles, both natural and surreal.Tips: Image Distortion can be used to break up the image a bit, while Image Displacement makes the image conform to the brush strokes.Try using Paint Thickness and Surface Height (under lighting) together to control the apparent thickness of the paint.The new Brush Hair Enhance feature requires that Image Dispersion be turned up, even if just a bit, for the effect to be visible. To conform the brush hairs to the image, check Brush Hair Conform.Special thanks to ThreeDee's Smeary Oil Painting filter for its contribution to the new brush hair enhancement.
