**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025

Animated Brushes letting me generate particle assets in minutes.

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

Not cheap at all.But worth it, if you dont mind the investment.

I mostly use it to generate particle texture and noise textures. I am severely under using the software capabilities, but it lets me whip up anything on the fly, while looks good. For that alone i was worth it for me.

  ### 2. Flaming painting software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Animation | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

The real-time rendering engine allows artists to see changes instantly, which enhances the user experience and speeds up the creative process.

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

While the basics are easy to pick up, some of the more advanced tools and settings require a bit of trial and error, particularly for newcomers to digital art.

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Traditional graphic design and painting software often lack tools that can create dynamic, flame-like, or particle-based effects without tedious manual work.

  ### 3. Good Experience till now.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa  D. | Graphic Design, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2024

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

For a Designer Flame Painter provides excellent features like Photorealistic Effects,Dynamic Compositions and other advanced tools which makes our work faster and easy. The outcomes looks extremely realistic and beautiful. We use it almost daily in our day to day work. The customer support is excellent.

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

We can incorporate more features. Glitches happen but it gets resolved timely.

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best part is making the paintings as realistic as an artist's imagination. it bridges the gap between a creator and his needed output for work.

  ### 4. Unique Special Effects Particle Brush Painter

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christopher N. | Group Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2021

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

- Produces high-quality vector-based images that look significantly more realistic than those produced from other graphic programs.
- Brushes can be customized with numerous settings and are fully adaptable within each particle brush system.
- You can create and export particle brushes (using your self-made design assets).
- Extensive free brush library.
- Easy to use.
- Is both a standalone application and a Photoshop plug-in.

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

While you can customize the brushes within the pre-set particle systems, I would love the ability to customize physic's calculations to experiment with creating self-made particle systems.

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am saving myself from buying or finding stock assets to make my presentations more interesting (e.g., adding fire to an image).

  ### 5. Great brushes and effects!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kevin M. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2020

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

It's not like photoshop at all it's entirely brush focused. I like that you can get creative by mixing the different brushes together on the canvas. I use a mouse pen to make designing more fun. The software is also very affordable and I got it Flame Painter 4 on sale!

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

I couldn't find a way to import PSD brushes from photoshop as I have many. Would be interested to know if that possible at all but not a deal breaker by any means.

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

More creative designs being pumped out while I explore the different brush sets included with my purchase as well as a growing library of premium brushes I can buy and play with when needed. The undo button is my friend and was pleased that it uses the normal ctrl+z  key combo.

  ### 6. Unique way of painting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marcelo d. | Senior Visual Designer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

Flame painter provides an easy and enjoyable way to approach image creation. Even beginners can get some nice results from this software.

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

It can be difficult to adapt if you come from more traditional painting applications. Similarly, Flame Painter probably won't adapt easily to a too structured workflow.

**Recommendations to others considering Flame Painter:**

Flame Painter is not a substitute for Painter, Photoshop, Artrage or similar programs. It carved its own niche. But, in its speciality, Flame Painter is unbeatable.

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Flame Painter allows the creation of smoke, clouds, galaxies and of course, flames in a very natural way, producing some beautiful works without much effort. It would be very difficult to achieve similar results in regular painting applications.

  ### 7. Absolutely love the different types of brushes 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nikolett M. | Freelance Post Production Artist, Motion Pictures and Film, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2016

**What do you like best about Flame Painter?**

I loved the controlles the best. The way I'm capable of adjusting the shape of the brush. I mostly use the flame brush for digital paintings, and the flames look realistic. 

**What do you dislike about Flame Painter?**

It seems to lag and take a while to catch up with my pen strokes. 

**What problems is Flame Painter solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With all the different types of brushes I'm capable to create effects much quicker then having to compost them in Photoshop.
