VPaint

Creating virtual illustrations can be a fun activity, if you have the right tool in your hands. You need an application that can match your drawing skills and can help you produce high quality content.

If generating resolution-independent illustrations is what you are aiming at, then VPaint might be just what you are looking for.

VPaint comes with an intuitive layout that allows even novices to understand and use it without difficulty.

Although the application encompasses a few technical functions, it compensates by displays tooltips that include useful, brief descriptions. More so, if the tooltips do not provide you with satisfactory information, a more detailed description is displayed on the bottom of the window.

Unfortunately, VPaint does not support file types other than its own (VEC), but, on the bright side, you can export your content to SVG or PNG formats.

This handy vector editing tool packs various functions that include free-form sketching, sculpting, painting and animating. You can access the sketch tool for generating original content and simply customize its size and snap threshold by pressing the CTRL and ALT keys.

The paint tool allows you to color wide portions of your workspace or enclosed regions that are delimited by curves, by simply picking a color and clicking on the desired area.

You can generate simple animations by switching frames, drawing on each of them and displaying a preview of the resulting content. It is possible to customize certain animation-related settings, such as FPS and play mode (e.g. loop, bounce).

Aside from the aforementioned functions, VPaint also provides you with a 3D view of your artwork, so you can perform a more in-depth visual analysis of it.

To sum it up, this application can prove to be a valuable asset, if you are in need of an easy-to-use vector graphics editor that also provides animation functions and 3D perspectives of your content.
