Oil and Watercolor for VS Designs with Rebelle

  • S

    Some user here may know Rebelle, it is a paint Software
    which simulates natural media e.g Watercolor, Oil ect.
    More Info on their Website or take a look at their
    youtube Videos.
    .
    .
    The main reason why i mentioned Rebelle here is, since
    Version 7, Rebelle allows the import of SVGs as Paths.
    A Rebelle Paintbrush will follow such a Path then.

    At the moment only one active and visible Path is possible
    on the canvas. But importing more complex paths as SVG is
    possible. The developers have already mentioned that they
    will improve this.

    Here a Video how to use a Path
    .
    .
    Stencils, which are simple grayscale PNGs are another option
    to use your VS Designs in Rebelle.

    Stencils are also useful for inserting text into Rebelle.
    As Rebelle does not have a text function. But it is easy
    to save a text from VS as a .PNG and then use this .PNG
    as a stencil.

    Here a Video how to use Stencils in Rebelle

  • @Subpath I have Rebelle 5, maybe I'll have to upgrade at some point as this develops! Can SVG's be filled like stencils? The examples the linked video shows with the vector file affects the path itself

    At the moment only a brush can follow the Path.
    Filling a Path is not possible.

    Its also strange that it is not possible to create a selection from
    a path. But I think all of this will be added in the foreseeable future.

    But there is a workaround to create a filled path.
    I'll post a little video about it here

    What like at this Feature is that almost all of Rebelles brushes follow a path.
    Also the Eraser and Liquify brush.

    Here a Workaround for filling a Path
    I think the best way at the Moment is to create
    a Stencil from it as i show it in the video

    Here is a slightly better way to fill a Shape of a Path
    using a Stencil.

    Short Update on SVG-Paths in Rebelle 7

    Since the latest 7.1 update
    You can use multiple Paths and Stencils
    at the same time now. Also both together.

    Creating a Selection from a Path is now possible.

    Filling a Path is now also possible, in this way:
    Place a Path on the canvas
    create a Selection from the Path
    and fill the Selection.

    Stencils can be created from a Selection.
    Also a Selection from a Stencil.

    All in all, that new improvements make working
    with Paths and Stencils in Rebelle more useful.
