Abstractor vs Oilbook

ABSTRACTOR: PAINT WITH GENERATIVE MAGIC Unleash your vision with Abstractor, a poetic drawing app for iPad and iPhone, crafted for artist explorers and playful creators. Paint with infinite possibilities, where every stroke pulses with generative magic. FLOW BRUSHES: THE HEART OF CREATION Dive into the soul of Abstractor with flow brushes, where particles swirl like living liquids, leaving hypnotic trails across your canvas. These dynamic tools respond to three unique velocity maps: • Stroke Paths: Your gestures carve flowing rivers, guiding particles along vibrant trails. • Image-Driven Flow: Import an image to shape a velocity field, infusing brushes with textured, directional energy. • Algorithmic Soul: Add generated noise or patterns to give particles a distinct character—turbulent storms or gentle ripples. Tune particle behaviors in real time, sculpting their essence like a visual composer. Blend these maps to create mesmerizing, emergent patterns that surprise and inspire, making every stroke a performance. Colors shift with stroke angle, pressure, or speed, weaving emotion into every line. Use familiar layers or bind tools to them for tailored magic. Paint over a color source layer, pulling hues from imported images to craft radiant distortions—flow brushes shine here, warping visuals into dreamlike abstractions. Abstractor is your canvas for boundless wonder. Download now and let your art flow eternal.

I've always wanted to develop an oil painting app. After trying existing solutions on the market, I found that they only mimic the texture of oil paintings, which I believe is not perfect. Pigments are essentially a liquid, so my goal is to authentically recreate the dynamic process of paint flow and diffusion based on fluid mechanics and other physical principles. This vision led to Oilbook — a truly unique software. The default brush can adjust the number of bristles and the size of the brush. The fluidity of the pigments can also be adjusted. Other brushes can adjust texture, size, point distance, hardness, direction, opacity and other parameters. Reducing 'Bristle Count' can sometimes improve the effect. For some brushes, it is better to adjust the hardness. For example, please try to adjust the hardness of some brushes to 0. Supports multiple undo/redo. Supports switching between portrait and landscape modes. A large number of oil painting texture color presets with adjustable intensity can be applied to your work. You can select colors using the color wheel, or use the eyedropper tool to extract the color of a point on the canvas. You can use the eraser, clear the canvas, switch full-screen mode. The current project progress can be saved, and the archive can also be deleted. You can save your work to photo album or share it. In Apple Pencil mode, the stroke thickness will change in real time with the pressure. There is a user guide in the settings page. In the pro version you will: - Get all brushes and color presets, and they are constantly being updated. - Remove watermark. - Choose the canvas size. - Move the canvas to inspect and paint details. - Turn on pressure support for Apple Pencil, for all other brushes. - You can choose to use Apple MetalFX technology to enlarge the size of your work by 4 times. MetalFX is a technology developed by Apple for enhancing game graphics quality. Pro version is a one-time purchase. If you encounter any problems in use, please write to duansu3518290@163.com
