Call for resources for ArtRage!

[HannahRage]

ArtRage artists have created some incredibly canvases, stencils and tool presets and we'd love to include some of them in future updates, such as ArtRage 5. This is a call for contributions from an amazing community, and an opportunity to officially recognise your awesome works.

Important: We DO NOT have any kind of release date for ArtRage 5. We're working on it, but it's still a very long way off - long enough that we can't even give you a reliable estimate. You've got plenty of time to make sure you're submitting your best work!

People who create a significant number of resources that we decide to include in the program will get a free copy of ArtRage 5.


Rules

To submit something, just post it, or a link to it, in the thread below, and we'll download and evaluate it closer over time. We won't be able to tell you if your resources will be included until shortly before the actual release, as there are too many things that might change beforehand.


We will accept existing creations. We'd happily grab all the existing stuff of the forums, but we want to make sure we have official permission from the creators (if you have created existing resources that you want us to use, leave links below).

We will require that there be no commercial constraints or intellectual property issues. These resources will be included with ArtRage, and freely available to all users to create content with.

We will need the right to include these resources in future versions.

This is an ongoing open call until we say it's closed.


We will have a high standard for content, and can't guarantee that your submissions will make it into the final release. The resources that make the cut will chosen by Ambient Design staff and will depend on a range of factors, including avoiding duplication (if six people submit the same set of color samples or a very similar background, we'll have to narrow it down!), and whether it works for ArtRage 5 (as there will be a few changes to the program).

Everyone who contributes will be credited on the site, and we may make additional resources that don't make it into the program available for download. Your submissions here will remain freely available for users to download up until release (and probably after, but that's too far away to be sure about right now).


Resource Examples

We're looking for a variety of resources. While there may be changes to the tools and program, most existing resources will still work. Themed packs, realistic traditional effects, and things that aren't currently in the program would be awesome.

Basically, if you ever went "I wish ArtRage had...", then we want that.

- Stencils
- Pattern fills (e.g. manga screentones, generic background patterns)
- Color sample sets (note: we can't offer samples of commercial brands within the program without permission)
- Tool presets: we can't guarantee these will work exactly as they do in older versions until we're a bit closer to releasing, but we'll still accept them!
- Canvases/textures
- Sticker spray brushes
- Tracing images
- Line arts/colouring images
- anything else you can come up with!

Hello,
here are my resources (link to my download folder):
https://app.box.com/s/o9rfhmo0k2qld1mbif4syy9mj9tix119

88289


note: the abstract brush files can be used as stickers or as brushes.

If you want to use them as stickers with the sticker sheet collection, open the sticker sheet collection, make a new group and add the stk-files from your disk.

If you want to use them as brushes together with the sticker spray tool, copy the folder with the stk-files to your custom content Artrage folder, similar to this:
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\ArtRage Paintings\Custom Content\Stickers


The color scale pickers are meant to work as an addition to the color samples you use. Different saturations, tints and shades can be accessed in a fast and easy way.

[Mick CrocKode]

Made an ArtPack containing Oil and Pastel samples that I put together inspired by the nice site art-paint where I find all the data.

I also put some tree stencils in it that I posted here a while a go.

Here it is: RessourcesLMI_Pack1 (http://www.codepharetamis.alsace/artrage/RessourcesLMI_Pack1.arpack)

And if you are only searching the tree stencils from that arpack, here is a link were you can chose what to download: Tree_Stencils.html (http://www.micheldelaforet.fr/divers/res/Texture/lessons/Tree_Stencils.html)

And if you are looking for "seamless textures" to use as stencils or paper grain (or what else) that you can tile...

Here is my complete hand-made collection: ResourcesToTile (http://www.micheldelaforet.fr/divers/res/Texture/Ressources.html)

Hope you like them.

Just one small comment that may be interesting for developers of ArtRage 5. I often use ArtRage such a manner as its creators, probably, was not foresee. My loving way is to use ArtRage tools with brush size greater than 100%. It gives some very interesting effects that can not be obtained in another graphics program. For example, the watercolor brush, if you set it size to 300% or even 500% (it is possible in the brush size dialog box) allows me to do such paintings
http://www.artlib.ru/index.php?id=11&idp=330&fp=2&uid=4774&iid=417560&idg=0&user_serie=0
Brilliant effect! I think it may be included in the standard features of the Watercolor Brush.

I made some seamless grains for use with canvas settings

note:
the files can be used as canvas grains to create textures and also as stencils to create variable abstract textures and effects.
To use them as stencils, just copy the folder with the pictures to your custom content Artrage folder, similar to this:
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\ArtRage Paintings\Custom Content\Stencils

I just had some fun with these grains using the gloop pseudo-water tool with chalk-- wow. These are great. Thank you!

Is there a kind Rager who can donate a filter that removes white in the 64-bit version? I've been using Mike and Yael's "Kill White" in the 32-bit version or GIMP's "Color to Alpha"-- but I'd love for someone to give us a filter that removes white in the 64-bit ArtRage.

[Rondo]

i'm afraid there is no 64 bit version of it. but you can open a 32 bit version of artrage,apply the filter,save as png and bring it in 64 bit artage, i tried it and it works. Don't forget that 32 bit applications work on 64 bit machines and as you know? some of the PS filters (32 bit)work in artrage (not all i know)

[HannahRage]

I just wanted to drop by and thank the people who've contributed resources so far. We can't really update with anything useful until we're ready to use them, but we're definitely paying attention (and playing around with them).

I have compiled a palette of the standard 134 Crayola crayon colors as listed by Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could use them.

We're not sure if we can include them officially yet - that's something we need to find out. But sharing in the forum for other users should be completely fine, so we can at least point at it and say 'this is useful'.

Some of them are out of production if that helps, but good luck finding out.

I've yet to master making sticker sprays but I ca make tons of stencils, palettes, and grains. I'll start working on stuff.

everyone share really good stuff keep it up guys

[Toffee]

I was reading an old thread earlier about bob Ross and people was asking if anyone would or could make bob Ross tools,
well the thread i was reading was from 2006/2007 this is a long time ago, it would be nice to know if anyone has made any of the things bob used, i could not continue to read the thread as my account would not let me login, so i have no idea where i found the post i just know is in the forum somewhere.
anyway if the tools bob used have been made can someone please help me find them? i have desperately been searching to either find the post i was reading as well as the tools needed to paint like bob, thanks in advance for reading and i hope to get a response soon :)

SomeoneSane's Bob Ross sticker spray brushes and sponges is probably what you saw: https://forums.artrage.com/showthread.php?37629-Spongy-Brushes-(Sticker-Spray-Presets)&highlight=bob+ross https://forums.artrage.com/showthread.php?49882-having-a-hard-time&p=498769#post498769

And if you import a white background into ArtRage, or fill it with white paint, you'll get the wet on wet painting effect: https://forums.artrage.com/showthread.php?392-Liquid-White-and-Liquid-Black

You can find the colour samples here: http://artrageteam.deviantart.com/art/Bob-Ross-Colors-for-ArtRage-558369143

[Horacio]

But I have not been able (or known) to install them.I'm new in AR 4.

[Enug]

These are self-installing packages. Extract the files from the .zip - the icons will look like little boxes tied with ribbon. When you click on these, ArtRage will open and when you click 'install' they will automatically be installed in the correct folder.

Hope that helps. :)

It is entirely possible that something like this will be in ArtRage 5, by the way ;)

[Aunt_Betsy]

Here is a sticker package that can be included in ArtRage 5 if you want to. This is a large file of over 14 MB.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4wvc84kuo27yzz/Aunt_Betsy%20101.arpack?dl=0

These are good for decorative borders and they work very well with the symmetry tool.

What are the specs for the Tracing Images?

I have some to upload.

[Aunt_Betsy]

Here is a package of seamless tiles for ArtRage 5.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tg11kupqta5ql60/Aunt_Betsy%20Tiles%20101.arpack?dl=0

Many of the tiles look best if used at a 45 degree angle. Use the snap to grid feature for best results.

[HannahRage]

@Aunt_Betsy those are fantastic! Even if they don't make it into the program, I'll be pointing people at them.

@symson ArtRage doesn't come with tracing images, so either the resources would have to be downloaded separately, or they need to be something other than tracing images.

[symson]

Maybe, I'm misunderstanding. In the OP you asked for some resources and listed Tracing Images. I want to supply some resources.

Ah, right, you asked about specs, so ... there are no specific requirements for a tracing image, just that it be large enough to use, which is going to depend on the image and the user.

[CMDesign]

Here are some resources I've been working on. Its a fairly big collection of a little bit of Stencils, Patterns, presets, etc.. Let me know what you guys think. Not everything is shown in the picture by the way.

Nice! Those look a lot of fun and I'm very keen on this 'lots of fun stencils' trend ;D

Ok, the Oil Brush and the color sample presets don't show up for me, I'm not sure if that's a bug my end or a problem with the file. Can you check they work for you, or repost them as a separate pack?

Hmm, It shows they are included in the pack and shows they are installing for me. Is it just the Oil Brush Presets and the Flesh tones Color Picker that isn't showing up? I'll make a new arpack with just those if thats the case.

I just edited the post and added a download link for the Oil Brush Presets and the Flesh Tones Color Picker. Let me know if it works for you.

[HannahRage]

Okay, there's definitely something weird going on there - they show as installed, but don't appear in the presets. Thanks for the .arpack, have passed it on for investigating.

Well, thats a bummer. That color picker is one of my favorite resources lol. I made it with the idea of having almost any human flesh tone you can think of easily accessible for painting large portraits. Hope they get it worked out.

[Rondo]

i have the same prob as HannahRage with the oil brush ect....show "installed" but don't show up.

Well, thats just weird. I don't know what to do about it. Hope the devs can figure out whats goin on or what I'm doing wrong.

Here is the color picker. You guys can just download the image and load it into your color picker collection manually if it looks like something you'd like that is.

Ok, the problem is that you used the same name as the default presets group ;D This is something that will probably change in AR5 (especially now you've reminded us it's a problem!), but if you recreate them with a new preset group name, they should be fine.

Hey guys, I made some seamless plaid patterns. also there is a transparent one included here so you can easily come up with your own plaid patterns. Enjoy!

Edit: Just noticed these don't look very good in the pic since I made them so small. But they look much better and a lot more like plaid when they are bigger as you can see by the plaid in the background which is much bigger.

Well, I have no idea how I forgot these.. but here are a bunch of stripe stencils I had intended to include in my original post in this thread. I updated the original download link to include these in the original arpack I made. If you already have that then just download this arpack. This is just the stripe stencils alone. Anyways, enjoy!
