Just another quick blog post, to tell readers that, as well as the free Krita and MultiFill, there is another similar ‘fill with colour’ tool. This may also be useful to those making comics. It’s the latest DAP 6.x ($, ‘Dynamic Auto-painter Pro’, now in a new “2019” version of 6.x), which has a new module under its plug-ins menu called Le Roy Colour Randomizer…
Input: a raw Preview render from Poser. Flat toon light, no retexturing for tooning. Although I think this was in a Display Style that stripped some of the textures back, and the eyes are missing for instance. Not a very promising candidate for colouring, and a ‘tough test’…
Output: But here’s the output…
It’s really simple to use, one click on a preset. Reasonably fast to apply to a large canvas. But it’s also tweak-able. The above picture shows default settings for the preset, and doubtless more could be done with it.
I’d imagine that the powerful gMic plugin for Krita 4.x and the GIMP (both free) may also do something similar, but I haven’t get spent any time looking into that (Krita 3.x used to use gMic for its auto-colour, but now has its own more robust in-house solution to do that).
