Graphics Software
I am currently developing ideas for several new graphics programs. The first to be released will be Speed Paint, a simple yet powerful program aimed at users of graphics tablets who need a fast dedicated package for speed painting.
The brush system makes it easy to customize so you can paint with ANY shape and/or texture. The interface is also designed to maximize screen space by automatically showing/hiding just one palette at a time, which means less scrolling for the user to find the tools required.
Please bear in mind that this is just the inital stage of the software development. I still have to add more features and debug the program into a final stable form. Keep watching this page for updates over the coming weeks.
Because of the extra time (and money) required to develop these applications, they will not be freeware downloads unfortunately. They will become a selection of low-cost commercial products. The aim is to try and generate a little extra income to help cover the running costs of this website and future developments at Cybia.
