Rebelle 5

REBEL, REBEL Escape Motions’ swish paint simulation software grows up and chases the professional crowd. It’s a stroke of genius

The real-world colour pigments really pop, as they’re mixed in CMYK for added vibrancy.

Sitting comfortably between the feature-laden package offered by Corel Painter and the more immediate ease of use of ArtRage, Escape Motion’s painting software shouldn’t be overlooked.

Rebelle 5 boasts one of the best paint and liquid simulations available. It offers physical colour mixing based on real-world, traditional pigments – Cadmium yellow, Alizarin crimson, Ultramarine and others are included. It means you can accurately blend and merge colours on the paper or canvas in a realistic manner. It opens the door for countless ways to express yourself using paint, brush strokes and the canvas texture below. We particularly love the Palette Knife tool when used with wet oils to push and stroke the paint and colour about the canvas. The Dirty Brush is great, too, enabling you to retain paint pigments on the bristles and merge colours together for dramatic results. The option to clean the brush between colours is another example of how far Rebelle 5 goes to create a truly realistic simulation.
