![]() ![]() There are also five new Expressive brushes in the existing Watercolor and Digital Watercolor categories. Other new features include two new categories of brushes designed to take advantage of the performance optimisations: Fast and Simple and Fast and Ornate.Ĭollectively, the two categories comprise 26 brushes. New Fast and Simple and Fast and Ornate brush categories ![]() Apple recently deprecated OpenCL in macOS, but the API is still supported in current builds. The implementation is based on OpenCL, so it should work with any manufacturer’s GPUs. “Typically we’re excited if we see 3x faster.” “We had to go back to engineeering ” said senior product manager Chris Pierce. The latter leads to some significant performance increases: speaking to CG Channel before the launch, Corel said that it was seeing improvements of up to 67x in its internal tests. Under the hood, support for CPU multi-threading has been improved, and – more significantly – “about 50% of the top-used brushes” now support GPU acceleration. The software’s interface also now shows which of the four each brush can take advantage of, with the option to toggle support individually. The test takes account of the number of available CPU cores, whether the CPU supports AVX2, the specifications of the user’s GPU, and system RAM. The most visible result of the work is the Brush Accelerator: a new diagnostic tool that runs an automated benchmarking test on a user’s system, and optimises settings accordingly. New Brush Accelerator utility, plus ‘up to 67x’ speed boost for key brushes via GPU accelerationĪccording to Corel, a key focus of Painter 2020 is performance, particularly when working with very large canvas sizes, or very large brushes. ![]() The update also introduces two new Fast brush categories, comprising 26 individual brushes, and updates colour picking, brush selection and layer workflow. Corel has released Painter 2020, the latest update to its natural media digital painting software, adding a new Brush Accelerator tool, plus support for GPU acceleration on the most commonly used brushes. ![]()
