Ambient Design launches ArtRage for iPad 2.0
A Powerful and Realistic Painting App for the iPad
ArtRage for iPad 2.0 was released Monday 5th October, 2015. It included major speed and stability improvements, as well as a range of new features, additional stylus support, and full support for iOS9. It is available through the iTunes App Store.
ArtRage for iPad is our main iOS app. Designed as a fully featured stand-alone painting and drawing app, it includes the full range of natural media painting tools from ArtRage 4, standard digital features such as Fill, Transform and Layers, unlimited undo, highly customisable and realistic canvas textures, import and export support to and from other apps, and ArtRage’s popular tracing and references system.
It can also act as a complementary mobile sketch app for desktop users. ArtRage for iPad’s painting files are fully compatible with the desktop programs ArtRage 4 and ArtRage Lite, and the script recording feature allows artists to replay their works at any resolution in ArtRage 4.
iPad Pro & Apple Pencil Support
ArtRage fully supports the Apple Pencil and iPad Pro, offering 4K canvases, pressure, tilt, and responsive brush strokes.Downloads
