Paint

The other day I posted a 140 characters rant about paint in compositing packages. That got me thinking. What is the problem with Paint?

I have a saying.

Composite your way into a corner and paint your way out

I don't remember where i heard it as its not mine. but it stands true. Compositing and Paint go hand in hand. So why do all of the big comp packages have paint that is horrid. I am tired of compositors lieing to themselves and saying the Paint is fine. Is that because most compositors will do anything to stay away from paint, maybe. If the paint node is horrible then maybe they can pass it off to a paint artist. To my suprise Avid is the winner on this one. matador is old and you will have to find a SGI box but it works really well.

You know what I say.

Learn to paint its a skill that will make your comps look that much better.
