Title: I love Brilliance
Post by: rednova on July 01, 2017, 07:44:58 PM

Hi All :

Every few days I power up my amiga 2000 and use Brilliance to
paint pictures.
I really love Brilliance and enjoy drawing.
Even though I spent years using lightwave 3d, I enjoy Brilliance
very much.
My next goal is to learn Moviesetter, and combine it with Brilliance
to make nice amiga cartoon animations.
I love Brilliance !!!

@rednova

Have you ever used Art Expression by Soft-Logic - a vector graphics based package?

When Jim Sachs did Amiga Lagoon in Brilliance my jaw dropped. Even today, it is still one of my favorite images by Jim. Truly amazing.

@ gizmo350

I never used that package.
But I do not want to scatter my efforts
so I decided to only use brilliance and moviesetter.
Thank you anyways !!!
I want to make the most of my time.

I first used DCTVPaint and OpalPaint for any graphics design, but once I bought Brilliance I never looked back.  Still my favourite.

Not sure what it brings to the table beyond Deluxe Paint V? DPV was a bit slow on anything other than a 060 but it was great. What's the benefit of using Brilliance? I know it was used to do the graphics in Banshee so that's impressive.

The interface. Very fast even in HAM8 mode. HAM8 implementation is the best of any paint program. Hard pressed to pick it from 24  bit.   Rock solid stability. Neither supported rtg though.

Brilliance's interface is a bit overwhelming. Maybe I should actually consult the manual.

Always seems not intuitive especially when I try for gradient fills.
