Amiga Artist Newbie

Hi,

I personally think Brilliance 2.0 is the best bitmap paint & animation program on the Amiga.  PPaint (Personal Paint) is nice and comes with Amiga Forever, but I really like the interface and keyboard shortcuts of Brilliance.  Plus it has rarely if ever crashed on me.  See if you can find a copy with the manual ... you won't regret it.  It has everything DPaint does except the ARexx commands, but the interface is so well-thought out and convenient... very productive.

Also if you intend to work with 3D, you might want to look for a program called PixelPro, or Pixel 3D Professional.  It's a handy little app that will take your 2D bitmap art and make 3D objects out of it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Amiga art :-)

Hope that helps

wow, the amiga has 4x as much graphics programs as the mac does. This makes the mac a business machine

The Mac used to be more "diverse" with programs such as Freehand, Expression, Painter, Bryce, etc.  These days though the scene is less interesting!

The job recruiter I went to last week gave me a checklist of what programs I know (about 2 page long) it has Aladdin 4D, ImageFX, Lightwave. I'm gonna learn these programs.

I really want to know what job recruiter you're going to who tells you to learn Amiga apps!   :-D    It helped me once when I applied to work at a former Amiga distributor, but those days (and that company) are long gone!

cheers,
