openCanvas 6 is designed to create and save graphic works, as well as video recording of the drawing process itself. Can be used both as a game and for professional purposes. There is a function that consists of recording the creative process. This allows the project to be used to teach artistic activities to children and students in schools and other educational institutions. The game has performance and a choice of built-in parameters that make it possible to expand the visualization. The results of the work are used as exhibition samples, for creating computer games, animation.The openCanvas 6 toolkit consists of the following components:
- Brushes. These are the fundamental tools with which both basic strokes and processing of graphic solutions at the final stage are performed.
- Watercolor. Creates blurry drawings, mixes shades of different colors.
- Airbrush. Used to spray paint on the background layer.
- Pen. Allows you to create lines of fixed width and transverse angle.
- Pencils. Apply contours and final touches, depending on the tasks. They come in different thicknesses and application intensities.
Using raster structures expands the boundaries of graphics. The user has the ability to adjust the level of sharpness. To make it easier to use a brush and pencil, a correction has been implemented in the algorithm, allowing you to move the tools smoothly. The file has up to 22 layers. Each of them has adjustable color, background, contrast, brightness. In addition, there are 40 filters. Layers in the program are combined with files from Photoshop.
