Customizable Paint User Interface
At startup, customize your sketching and illustration
user interface, and enjoy a simpler, more efficient
workflow. Use paint mode to transition smoothly
from other 2D tools to Alias Design software. Alias
Design speeds your work by giving you instant
access to common brush controls, through a
dynamic hot-spot interface that appears directly
under the cursor. Hot spots combine common key
functions, so you access the keyboard less often—
and enhance your focus on the task at hand.
Advanced Sketching Tools
Draw symmetrical objects quickly and get
instant feedback on a drawing’s proportions. The
interactive symmetric drawing feature lets you
duplicate symmetric brush strokes bilaterally or
radially. Capture perfect lines, circles, and ellipses
with predictive strokes.
Concept Exploration
Integrated 2D/3D Environment
Create sketches at real-world scale, and draw over
imported 3D CAD data to ensure design feasibility.
Take advantage of the flexibility of Alias Design—
sketch what’s hard to model and model what’s hard
to sketch.
Image Editing and Modification
Create design variations easily. A full suite of color
adjustment tools lets you tweak colors and explore
color alternatives. Alias Design provides deform
and warp tools to alter the proportion or character
of an image, and modification tools to make subtle
corrections or radical changes quickly and easily.
