SDK Paint takes a unique approach to iPad artwork creation, by stacking 5 layers onto the canvas for later use in 3D effects. By combining the artistic modes, the numerous filters, the shaders, and the tools, possibilities of what the finger or the Apple Pencil can paint onto the canvas are endless. A large hue color palette and retro game console palettes let artists easily choose exactly the color desired, and a Dropper tool makes identifying previous colors a simple task. The features don't just end with painting, either! Is the artwork ready show off? * Watch your creations in a gesture-controlled slideshow! * Export your art in a variety of formats and even share it online as a layer-based image that can be view as a depth-based 3D MPO image.
