Need a vector-based drawing tool, but don't want to shell out the big bucks for the Adobe Creative Suite? Too tired of pestering your designer buddy for a bootlegged copy of Illustrator?
Try ZeusDraw, a new drawing program from Chromatic Bytes with a fluid, graceful interface. It has a different, more intuitive approach to paths (Bezier curves) and great brushes.
ZeusDraw shows you what you are doing, as
you do it. When you move or rotate an object, you see the object move
or rotate, not its bounding box. When you draw with a brush, you see a
close approximation to the final brush stroke as you draw, not a dotted
line that is filled in later.
Features:
- Both vector brushes and textured, pixel-based brushes that remain objects that can be selected, edited (path and attributes), moved, scaled and rotated.
- Easy to use path tools. Points are entered in order and can be edited at any time while the path is being created. When editing, all points are immediately editable - there is no confusing secondary selection tool.
- Gradients can be edited live, in-place on the objects they fill.
- many more features.
ZeusDraw requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. Introductory price of $90 good until Jan 1, 2007.
