Real colour blending not behaving
Real colour blending is something I'd like to make use of but it always produced too many overly saturated colours out of nowhere.
I thought the new paint mix profiles would help rein it in - maybe something in between AR6 real and RGB mixing.
It still seems a bit wild though.
I set all the mix combos to grey in the mix profile to try to understand how it works, and this happened:
Basically, it looks like it's not following the profile rules.

Hello Shasjas and welcome to the ArtRage forums
Yes, that dose look a bit odd
It’s working here for me though. Which OS are you on?
An old standby I know, but what happens for you after a restart of the app and or your system?

Thanks for the response!
Im on windows, and I have tried restarting.
heres what happens if I blend Yellow with Ultramarine blue.
Almost right. but weird purples appearing from nowhere.
Did a bit more fiddling blending Cyan-magenta-yellow:
See how it gets it right at first (grey), then towards the edges of the pallette knife stroke (or if you scrub a bit more), it falls back to old real-colour-blending colours
Have you tried blending Cyan-magenta-yellow primaries markw?

Sorry for the delay replying, busy weekend!
So, yes I see what you mean…
Initially things start out blending to grey as expected and as I found in my, admittedly perhaps too quick example, that I posted earlier, but the more continuous the blending the more it starts to behave as if RCB is still On
It doesn't blend 100% the same, looking closely at the blended colours they are a little duller and greyer than when RCB is actually turned On.
I would say that for my painting style I’m not generally having a problem with RCB, but it would be good to know if the current RCB behaviour is correct and working as expected?
I think only Andy would be able to clarify this for us. Hopefully he will see this thread and enlighten us!

I, too, am curious. I love the idea of real color blending profile and have used it, but I also have noticed some weird blending behaviors like with the last image with high saturated colors at the edges which can throw everything off for me especially if I try to blend some more.
I can't complain though, it's much better than what it used to be with the default profile in Artrage 6, that annoyed me enough to turn off the real color blending feature altogheter. Now I can keep it on and won't get annoyed too much, but it does not mean it could use some fine tuning if it's even possible.
Also I recall that sometimes when I try to blend two hues on same values, they would darken as if they were complementary to start with, but they were not. Like red and yellow? I'll have to experiment and find out what triggers it, but thought I'd mention it. With real oil, they would not darken and stay at the same value. For that, I have to turn off real color blending just to get it to paint properly and turn it back on afterward.
Great thread by the way.
I appreciate all the work the developers did. It's a cool software, keep it up!

Real World Color Blending Not Working
Hi, I'm new to AR. I've been using the AR6 demo version and everything worked fine. Today I purchased the ARVitae and the real world color blending IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. Any thoughts...works fine in AR6 demo. Thanks, I'll start with this.
Very disappointed that the program is not working right off the bat...I'm regretting not just buying AR6.
Thanks so much
Linda
