If you go to their online website, and click on 'User Guide', then half-way down the left-hand side of the page is an icon that says "generate PDF" - this will convert the whole User Guide to PDF format, which you can download.

What is the difference between this TwistedBrush Paint Studio 1.14 and Pro Studio 23.06 given away earlier this year? I couldn't find a feature comparison table.

Reply   |   Comment by Jerry  –  4 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+6)

Jerry, nor could I find anything to let me know the difference. I have the Pro as well. But, it is my understanding that the Paint Studio does not have everything that the Pro does.

Will not install on Windows 10 Pro and I disabled AV. At first, all I got was software informer, not TwistedBrush. So I uninstalled software informer (I didn't want that) and I tried again, nothing. I get the GAOTD window with the activation information, I click close and nothing happens.

TwistedBrush's software is usually worth a look and this one is no different, a well featured natural media art program. If you have a graphic tablet or another device with a pressure sensitive input of some kind you'll get the most out of it, and it's definitely one to grab.

My one caveat would be if you already grabbed TB Studio Pro, which was given away back in April, as that seems to be fuller featured and today's offer replicates what that does without some of the more advanced options.

If you're after a natural media art program also check out Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, which is now free on all platforms. Get it direct from Autodesk for PC though, the version offered via the Microsoft Store lacked a lot of the features of the full one when I tried it.

DawkinsDog, I just looked on Autodesk Sketchbook Pro is not free, has a 30 day free trial .

Pollyr, sorry, I should have thought to include the link. Thanks, Cindy!

Once it's installed make sure to check out the free brush sets they offer. Go to Window - Sketchbook Extras and it'll give a list of them. Some are really nice and useful, such as the fur set, which gives a great result. I'd also recommend exporting the brush sets in case they ever stop being available, on the Brush Library panel click on the menu circle and select Export Brush Set, which needs to be done for each set.

DawkinsDog,

Thanks for the info as I had no idea that it is free. There is no lack of features if you create an account as I read this on thier web site, below.

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/sketchbook-forum/sketchbook-for-free-faq/td-p/7970245

"In-App Purchase from iTunes Store or Google Play (Pro Tools)

Users who have purchased the In-App Pro Tools version of SketchBook, now have access to the Desktop and Windows 10 version of SketchBook to complete your art. Desktop only features include access to Free brushes, Radial Symmetry, Predictive Stroke and Textured brushes. To access the full version of SketchBook, create and login with an Autodesk ID.

To create an Autodesk ID, you can do it within the SketchBook products. You can also create and/or reset the password here: "

Cheers

MonkeySnark, the mobile version used to require purchase to unlock all the features, it's one of the first art apps I bought for Android many moons ago. You're right that you just need to create a free account to unlock them now.

I was refering specifically to the Windows PC version. When it went free I installed it from the Microsoft Store but found it lacked several useful features, even when signed in. It wasn't until I downloaded the version from Autodesk themselves instead that they became available, hence my suggestion others do the same. The Windows Store may have updated their version now, but getting it from Autodesk direct ensures it's complete and up to date.

mike, yeah, Krita is another good free art app. I don't find the tools quite as naturalistic as Sketchbook, or Painter, but it's a great bit of software and well worth having installed.

Im looking forward to see what Glimpse is like, it's based off Gimp, which also has a pretty good selection of natural media brushes now. Glimpse is supposed to be adapting the interface to be friendlier and more like Photoshop.

In stalled OK but when I run it it says t cannot find Tb paint studio\data\*.env files and will not save purchase key.
Downloaded and clean installed 3 time.

Rob,

Go to the Program Files (x86)\Pixarra directory and change the security settings on the TB Paint Studio directory so that all users have full control.

Reply   |   Comment by Dennis Towell  –  4 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

Rob,

Run as admin? Is it possible security software is preventing creating that file? *Might try* creating a new text document on the desktop, open it & copy/paste the key, save it, rename to "ske.env", move to [normally] C:\Program Files (x86)\ Pixarra\ TwistedBrush\ data\

No problems downloading or installing (Win 7 64x) (after temp disabling my anti-virus.) My question is this: what's the difference between this program and the one they gave us in April?

Hans Petersen, Control panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn windows features on or off

Just turn the features (DirectPlay) on and away you go.
