Recently, Adobe entered collaboration with NVIDIA to develop a program that can simulate real-life painting. Named Project Wetbrush, the software is designed to allow artists to create art using 3D paint on a 2D surface.
Developing with NVIDIA's powerful graphics cards in mind, Project Wetbrush is programmed to simulate the flow, thickness, and viscosity of actual oil paint. Drawing with a stylus like you would with 2D art, the program will simulate the angle and speed of the virtual brush, as well as the texture and even down to how long the virtual paint would take to dry.
Although artists may still prefer the feel of an actual canvas and thick paint instead of in front of a computer, Project Wetbrush does have the advantage of having every kind of color readily available. Artists will not have to toil and mix all kinds of paints to get the shade they want.
Despite these advancements, Adobe and NVIDIA were not the only ones to venture into the 3D painting field. Using VR headsets, Google’s Tilt Brush software has also allowed artists to paint within a 3D space. However, these options lack the tactile feedback artists get from painting on a real canvas.
