Features
Read full description

RPaintLite is fully functional with a limited number of Paint Lines ("ideal paint" and the airbrush paint "Ferrario Acrylic Pen Colors" are available). Please note that RPaintLite includes 8 paint bases of each Paint Line. These bases are Black, White and 3 or 6 colored ones, according to your Palette selection. These bases are fixed, and all color recipes use these and only these. Therefore, once you've selected your real Paint Line (Ferrario Acrylic Pen Colors in this free version), you can purchase the 8 bases and use them for all your paintings. The 6 colored bases of each Paint Line were optimized to cover the widest possible OPAQUE color space offering you as many as possible mixable colors. These tools use measurements of real paint spectra, so big part of the RGB/P3 space can be mixed, but not all RGB/P3 colors. This is not a limitation of the app, just physics. There are also many colors which can be mixed, even if they don't belong to the RGB/P3 color space (you can find these by manually varying the paint base amounts on the "mixing" page and reading the Lab values). RPaintLite can be used on iPhone or iPad with iOS 9.0 or later. Even an old iPhone 4S or mini iPad can find a second life and become a Real Paint Mixing Device! Painters can select colors from an image and have the corresponding paint mixing recipe computed. This is very useful to art students, to painters with color vision difficulties or to those working in the painting conservation and restoration fields. Paint and money waste can be greatly reduced! Color Coordinates can be converted from one space into another: sRGB, Display P3, CMYK, HSL, HSV/B, Lab, Lch-ab, Luv, Lch-uv, XYZ, xyY are available. The Munsell space is not available in the RPaintLite app. Digital images usually don't fit into the color gamut of real paint lines. RPaintLite can find an approximated (de)saturation value of an image to fit it into the selected Paint Set color gamut with the current mixing parameters. The value is approximated, because it is based on heuristics, but it is usually a very good approximation. Please note that color of paint coming from various parts of a tube or from different batches of the manufacturer can vary, so mix small amounts first to be sure that computed recipes meet your needs!! Please check the video tutorials on youtube by searching for "Real Paint mixing tools" to see how to use these apps in your paintings.

Read full description

I like to think about this app as a natural evolution of the traditional drawing mannequin. As artistis around the world started supporting it and appreciating it, it eveolved beyond my best expectation in what it is now. Muliple mannequins, shuffling of parts, export of 3d models and much more. The screen space rotation method and others automatic features make your posing process fast and dynamic. Pose and view your reference just the way you need it and strengthen and improve your human figure drawing skills or export the 3d models for your 3d projects. Poseit was born as my personal tool to help me drawing the most challenging poses, during the lockdown I had to spend my vacations at home and I gave myself the challenge to polish it and publish it (yes it is my very first app). I hope it now can serve others as good as it served me. If you decide to unlock the pro version please be aware that, as solo indie developer, and being a pet project and not my main job, I cannot guarantee a proper support and further development of this app.
