Hello. We released version 0.2 a little late, but it's here. It was not a big but very important update of some basic things. To give you an analogy, we strengthened the foundation. We also fixed some data transfer principles for stability and better response. Even if from the user's point of view it's not too noticeable, but it's important to introduce the next features without any problems. 

V0.2.1 

In this version we are finalizing some of the existing functionality in order not to return to it in the future if possible. We fix some bugs that we caught right after the release (as usually happens).  Also take into account some of the wishes of people who use the tablet. We will show some care for the user with the exit warning.

Separately worth mentioning Mix node, it has undergone significant improvement in terms of blending modes and was added adjustable transparency for the background and foreground. In fact, the usual behavior of layers as in any other well-known to you graphics editor. It is worth noting that part of the functionality decided to move to a separate node. It is needed to clearly separate the operations of cutting, merging, and other similar to the usual color modes of imposition without modification of the form.

We really did not think that at this stage, our program would be noticed and given a chance. We really appreciate all the attention and are working to justify it.

V0.3 Big update

Version 0.3 is very important to us as a second step in shaping the program into a more serious tool. Below are the planned rendering improvements:

• Update of the material renderer with the addition of Paralax mode
• Height map implementation
• Emission map implementation
• Ability to select (add) environment maps
• Improvement of lighting in the Material view.

Planned no less important increase in the number of nodes. There will be added a big set for more convenient work with forms, height maps and patterns.

The above is just a short list to give a general idea of the future update. I will only briefly mention that in addition to the above, there will be smaller updates relating to usability and appearance in general.

What's next?

After the second step (v0.3 - v.04) in the formation of the program we plan to move to QT6 if possible. This will further speed up the program, especially in the area of interface and performance in general.  In future versions, we plan to work on the integrity of the workflow and fine-tune the usability. 

I hope this description brings clarity and you will know what to expect in the future.
And also please keep in mind that although we are a team of two people and the code is written by only one person, the project will develop consistently and with full attention. You can follow the development process by subscribing to either me or our developer on Twitter.

We also express huge gratitude for your support it gives us motivation and confidence that a simple handy tool for artists (primarily non-technical) need not only us!
