they've explicitly stated that Rebelle 8 and forward will never have such massive discounts again. So, I guess time will tell if they eat their words due to nobody buying it or if they only do 10-15% for all future versions.

Rebelle 8 is pretty much the modern alternative to corel painter which atp has been abandoned. Although if you're really looking to emulate trad paints just get a torrent of corel painter 2023. It was far better than Rebelle 7 IMO and a little less to about even with Rebelle 8.

rebelle 7 oil and watercolor. Rebelle 7 has some interesting tools that are either not available or readily made accessible in corel painter 2023, but overall I think corel painter 2023 looks more pleasing, though the comparison is far closer than I expected and I think it could come down preference. I do prefer the textures of the real paints in corel painter 2023 over rebelle 7's though

Rebelle 8 puts both of these two shame in terms of trad paint emulation. I was super impressed with how its watercolors interacted with the paints on the canvas, if you throw watercolor on top of oils it will disperse across the oily surface as it would with trad. I will say however, that while the interaction between the mediums is pretty neat, I still think corel painter has better water colors in terms of bleed and usability right out of the box.

none of these really look like the actual medium
you might get away with the oils if you restricted your gamut, but the watercolors are extremely obviously digital
I have rebelle 6 I think that I got for a couple of bucks when it went on sale, and I barely used it because it doesn't emulate the process/medium mechanically whatsoever, not sure if that improved

I think they can all mimic the mechanics of trad mediums desu. Rebelle 8 for sure can mimic the mechanics of actual traditional mediums just based off the tools and modifiers they add like muddied brush/towels, although its blending is kinda ass since its basically just a liquify tool. I am primarily a digital artist so I approach painting in the way a digital artist does. Even if thinking in subtractive coloring or mixing I wouldn't have the same methodology as a primarily trad artist. I think in the case of all of these programs it's really just my inexperience with trad that doesn't allow me to truly showcase their potential so that's why I just tried to stick to basic things like the brushes they offer and mixing. I do think out of all of these Rebelle 8 seems the most promising in imitating the appearance of, and interactions between mediums, but that's just a visual assumption on my part.
I just bought it cause I had snagged the rebelle 7 pro sale a couple years ago and they let me upgrade for 50% off. It's a neat toy, I can see myself using it for some free textures when doing still lifes or trying to emulate trad techniques. I suppose the ultimate test would be trying to follow along with a painting demo and seeing how close it can imitate actual techniques.

I already said it once but I'll say it again sure. For me it's more of a way to get some variance in texture or brushes for digital painting. Has nothing to do with actually wanting to learn trad via digital, don't know what I said that would imply that's the case. It's pretty presumptuous about the why on why people would use programs like this which I think says more about you than me. It's no different than a music producer using synthesized versions of analog instruments or tools to add texture, noise, warmth, etc to their music. At its core digital painting is quite sterile, you have to go out of your way to add in that variance that you get for free through tradition mediums, that's where programs like this shine for digital painting. Anyways, I already feel silly trying to justify why I'd use a program like this to people who seem more interested in judging than experimenting

... and then you can upload your 2 gazillions downloaded brushes in the program and pass the rest of your years teaking those brushes at your liking. It s not really complicated to tweak rebelle .
BTW you can even use ABRMATE to upload your PS brushes inside rebelle.

Just like 3D animation tries soooooooo hard to imitate 2D hand drawn animation, it will always be inferior to the original.
When a medium tries to imitate something else, thats when you know its dogshit.

you do realize being able to do it in a digital format means they can do it faster with less effort and for cheaper? I don't think you actually know how the industry works. the only people that really have the luxury of time for traditional mediumspurely for the sake of "purity" are indie studios or solo artists that aren't beholden to extremely tight deadlines or financial burdens. It's not even a question that people like Leonardo DaVinci, Michelangelo or Bernini would be using digital mediums if they were alive today. Those fuckers cared about money more than anything because to them art was just a skill they learned to make a living, not some moral purity test they formed their identities around.

Why do traditional anons get so mad? Of course the digital is not as good as the original, but the point is not to be. It is to emulate the mixing and textures better than your common digital software. And it is good. This is not a replacement tool, it is just giving more tools for artists when doing digital.

The pretentious elitism in this thread is ridiculous. Are you that threatened by the existence of this software? Lmfao, like holy shit there is no way this isn't just a troll trying to get people riled up because there is nobody that should be this invested in the conversation. You're actively walking into this thread to get angry lmfao

the tards in /asg/ put in significant effort, it doesn't make them successfully emulate anime, does it?
>le handcrafted paper
exactly the kind of retarded reddit development that appeals to smoothbrained fembrained hobbyists that flock to this shit
does "handcrafting" paper make the software emulate trad media somehow? if they just used storebought paper, would it somehow make the software less like real media?
I swear you dumb niggers fall for this retardation every single time, it's fucking mixbox all over again

So invested on a topic that doesn't concern you. I'm starting to understand the kind of person you are and the type of life you're leading. You sure you aren't the actual female here? You're flinging that insult around in this thread so much that it might as well be projection. You can literally go through this thread and find every instance of calling someone a femoid or female and it's you. Lmfao.

how doesn't it concern me, retard? the question was is it any good
>WHAT is Rebelle?
>Rebelle is the award-winning, hyper-realistic painting software with phenomenal oils, acrylics, watercolors, and other wet and dry media. Paint pigments color mixing, oil thickness, watercolor diffusion, and NanoPixel technology convincingly mimic the way natural media interact with the canvas and itself.
does it "convincingly mimic the way natural media interact with the canvas and itself"?
no

You made it clear that you don't think it emulates trad one your first post. Yet here you are calling people nigger, femoids, retards, 5 days later because for some reason it makes you extremely upset that nobody here gives a fuck about your opinion. You stated your opinion, nobody cared for it, a normal person would have left, yet here you are, obsessed. lmfao. Terminally online activities.

there's literally just one time the string of letters "fem" appears in the thread before that, thoughbeit
methinks the femoid is grasping

That's not the gotcha you think it is. Literally anybody that actually cares about art tries all mediums accessible to them. This is your last you for today by the way. Unlike you, I have to go to work.

mixbox isn't even a software it's a color library you fucking moron (also rebelle literally uses it)
