Aug.2015: This is a new Flash version, we have removed the old Java version, because it was not working correctly on most browsers anymore. I have added a new SYMMETRY slider, so you can have fun with symmetrical kaleidoscopic images.

2019: This is a new Javascript version, we have removed the Flash version as it was not working correctly on most browsers. Ĭheck out new Rebelle - the real watercolor and acrylic paint program, Amberlight - abstract art tool based on particles, or Fluidance motion effect program. If you would like to try the full featured Flame Painter 4, you can download the demo here (for Windows 64-bit), here (for MAC OS) or get it here. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.

When you change the background from black to white, the palette changes from additive to subtractive and the feeling of the painting is very different. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. The company no longer develops Sketchup Make, its free desktop software, but you can download it from Trimble's archives.Flame Painter is a unique paint program, it belongs to my 'I am an Artist' experimental project. The SketchUp website offers a really impressive array of video and self-paced training options to help you along the way. Of course, if you're looking to put out detailed designs with accurate sizing and tolerances, you'll need to spend some time learning the ins and outs of the program. Even if you've never done any CAD work or 3D modeling before, you can pull together some really nice presentations in minutes.

The interface makes it easy to get up to speed on the basics. SketchUp's free web-based version has plenty of power, but if you need additional functionality, you have to buy SketchUp Pro-and pay a hefty price tag. Trimble has enhanced it and developed it further and now offers a slew of related products. In 2012, Google sold the product to Trimble. SketchUp was originally developed by Google and was one of the greatest free CAD packages ever put on the market. Free feature is web-only with many important features hobbled.
