Krita 3: review of the new layers docker

[@AndreasEsau]

this was a much needed feature for krita. this is great!

[@scottpetrovic]

great video. I didn't realize how many new layer actions Dmitry added with this update.

[@Gdquest]

+Scott Petrovic The new shortcuts/improvements to a range of functions are from abrahams, I believe? Not sure.

[@famesaro65]

Comme d'habitude très bonne vidéo Merci beaucoup pour tes efforts.

[@multimediahelp1]

Cool, but how about transforming multiple layers at once? And what happened to the brush presets group, such as Wet, Ink, Circle, Block?

[@Gdquest]

To transform multiple layers at once, you just have to group them. Note that it also works on selections. In the latest alpha, you can move multiple individual layers with the move tool, but not transform them recursively yet.

Is the docker minimal size still "fat"? It never seemed to be the same size as the other dockers when at its smallest, stretching out the side panel. Also is that Overview navigator docker never going to get any love?? A couple of sexy rotate buttons, a rotate slider, and a reset to 100% size or reset angle button would be nice. Other than the 'big brush' lag, krita has become my favorite program so far. I don't mind waiting till its ironed out some more. Its gotten a lot of love and hard work.

Do you know of a way to make text curve around in a circle. I have been wanting to do a magic circle with words going around it in a circle, but have not found anyway to make a curved text.

Can we somehow make layer preview bigger? I can't see anything on this 30 pixel thumbnail.

[@Gdquest]

No, not right now.

[@DogoOrtodoxo]

Excellent !!!

[@ursalexandruful]

Hello there, I've installed Krita 3 but I can't se the perspective tool in my tool box is somewhere I have to check or something?

[@Gdquest]

It has been replaced by an assistant, so you need to use the assistant tool + the tool options docker.

[@ursalexandruful]

Oh thanks for your help :)

[@jhonatansouza3761]

Hello Nathan, your videos are very helpful, so. I have a big problem with create unique game art style, can you teach us? for example draw and painting scene the same form of painting as other objects, Thank you so much.

[@Gdquest]

+Jhonatan Souza I mostly take hundreds of hours of work on your art fundamentals, so I can't teach that in a video tutorial or even in a whole video series. Check out www.ctrlpaint.com/library/, there are lots of videos on the fundamentals.

[@lolaconteau9452]

Je suis nouvelle sur la chaine et je me demande pourquoi certaines vidéos sont en anglais et d'autres en fancais ? Je voulais dire aussi que tes conseils sont très utiles pour quelqu'un qui débute😊

[@Gdquest]

+Lola Conteau Merci! J'ai traduit une 30aine de tutoriels en anglais, en partenariat avec indiemag.fr/. Mais ça faisait une trop grosse charge de travail.

Does KRITA works for windows 10 ?

[@scottpetrovic]

+Der Boss Yes. it works pretty well. I actually do my development directly on Windows 10.

[@ritageraghty3261]

Please tell Krita developer to include B-spline tool which is sometimes 3X faster than Bezier tool.

[@Gdquest]

+Rita Geraghty If you want to discuss something with the developers, you can go and tell them yourself on the forums. Whenever you want them to take something in account however, you want to talk about the problem you want to solve first, and then explain why you think your your solution is the best way to solve it. Now, I have never seen a case where Bézier curves would be responsible for poor performances in Krita. So I think that's including B splines would make absolutely no difference as far as performances are concerned.

[@ritageraghty3261]

+GDquest, I have used B-spline tool in Drawplus. For drawing ovals in rough animation, you would be 5 - 10 times faster to use b-spline than to mess with handles of bezier. If you were drawing a hip oval with 5 vertices in a polygon, you have only to move 5 vertices in B-spline, whereas Bezier is like moving 15 points when you have 5 vertices + 10 handles.

[@Gdquest]

Well not necessarily, check how illustrator and inkscape work. You have the ability to redraw and sculpt bezier curves on the fly. Also, Krita is a raster drawing app first and foremost. Pixel drawing tools are the priority, especially for animation. I wouldn't recommend using Krita for vector drawing at all right now.

[@Gdquest]

***** It is already in. Even if it's gonna get much better, I don't think Krita will replace Inkscape for vector drawing. They're going to focus on the basics this year.

[@ritageraghty3261]

I am looking forward to Krita 3.0.

[@Quello_di_una_volta]

downloaded to day Krita 3 pre alpha for window, the layers palette is the some (ugly) of 2.9

[@Gdquest]

+Francesco As said in the video, it's not available yet - I got the build directly from the developers, to give you a preview before it's out.

[@Quello_di_una_volta]

Sorry, my english is very bad... thanks for your quick answer :) Do you know when can download the next release with layers improvements?

[@Gdquest]

Francesco Don't worry, your english is completely fine! The next build should be out in the next 2 weeks. There's no precise release date yet.

[@Quello_di_una_volta]

thanks again!
