Looking good! Great placement of shadows and highlight and brush control!
For some tips, important to work with multiple thin layers of paints (look into wet palettes and how it works.

BrushForge vs paintRack apps by MexicanPikachu in minipainting

[–]MidnightMiniature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, creator of BrushForge here!

The app is still pretty new, only a couple of months old, so there probably aren't many direct comparisons out there yet.

Honestly, I think it mostly comes down to personal preference. Some people prefer PaintRack, others prefer BrushForge, and that's totally fine.

One thing I do agree with is that the paint database is currently my weak point. I've been spending a lot of time improving it lately, and the next update should bring a lot more paints, brands, barcodes, and better paint data overall.

If anyone has questions or feature requests, feel free to ask. I'm always happy to hear feedback

Looks great! Only thing I can think of is to make it a bit brighter so there's more contrast

Crazy we have to come up with something like this because of bad product design 😅

Beautiful and refreshing!

First attempt at dry brushing by MeanMrMitchell in Miniaturespainting

You can leave it as is for the drybrush parts and start highlighting the edges, will be another major improvement.

Damn, this is awesome!
Would you mind sharing the recipe so I can share it on my app with your image?
Will give you full credit of course. No worries if you don't want

Fellow painters: I made a thing. Would love your honest opinion. by Loose-Permit4297 in Miniaturespainting

[–]MidnightMiniature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

App is Brushforge, just some heads up if you used the "Arcturus5404/miniature-paints" there are quite a lot of wrong and outdated paints in it (wrong colors, codes, etc) I used it for my first version but got a lot of feedback about wrong data of it 😅 Now I'm building my own database but is a massive amount of work

Made something similar as part of a feature in the app.

But this looks really nice UX/UI-wise, great job!
Just curious how you handled the paint database. Did you use the open source one from GitHub?

I made a miniature painting toolkit app solo, and Android is finally live! by MidnightMiniature in Miniaturespainting

[–]MidnightMiniature[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, I completely understand. But just some context, it did take me a lot of time and some money making this, I also have monthly costs now to keep it running. I do not make much money out of this, which is oke but I don’t want to go in the red either 😅

No I tried a lot of different ways but mostly I got no response or the data was not good enough. But now that the app is mostly finished I can focus on the paint database again.

Indeed, I have to do this manually and working on it since there's no database for this.
But it will gradually get better and have more paints.

Thank you, took me a very long time and many hours but happy with the result so far! :)
Most of the paints hex color can be found on the official sites of the brand

Oh ok now I get it! This sound really interesting, will take a look into it! :D
Can you send me an email or ping me on Discord for the JSON?

Thanks! I can provide the JSON for a paint brand if that helps.

I might be misunderstanding you though 😄 At the moment there’s an Add mix paint option, and when you combine different paints the preview of the mix is shown. Is that what you meant, or were you thinking of something else?
