In order for brushes to follow features, they now understand direction and
this can be used for various special effects, like for example painting
certain areas in only one direction.
Feature Follow
One of the issues of previous DAP versions was that brushes would often be placed in a bit random or semi-chaotic patterns. (This would be mostly visible
in flat areas.) Sure, some artists could paint this way, but it is safe to say that in most masterworks the brushes actually follow the painted features.
That is precisely the job of the feature called 'Feature Follow'. It makes the brush strokes follow the structure of the image. This dramatically improves the
overall "human" feel of the painting and makes brush direction look more purposeful and deliberate.
Directional Brushes
True Mosaic Engine
New True Mosaic Engine has been added that will place the brushes in a
tightly fitted pattern without overlapping to simulate creating mosaics.
Panel
The panel is a new feature that allows you to access any of the parameters inside a preset without going into full Edit mode. This is great for people who
make their own presets or like to tweak the parameters. Instead of having a large number of sliders and knobs, you can build your own set from only the
parameters you need. Imagine Panel as your custom control board with knobs, sliders, and switches that are wired to the parameters deep inside the preset
Randomize or batch process any parameter
The Panel allows you to randomize or modulate any of the parameters.
Parameter modulation is used for Batch processing where a parameter can
change over number of steps.
Panel Monitors
Adding monitor to the panel will allow you to view certain steps during the painting - excellent for preset creators.
New content aware auto-masking
Presets can now create automatic detail masks based on the image content. This will prevent small brushes from being used on flat areas such as sky.
Video Capture of the Painting process and VR videos
Since the version 7 we added frame capture of the painting process that allows you to quickly create a video of the painting as well as VR videos.
Gallery quality
When combined with AI Photo & Art Enhancer, you can produce gallery-quality images, something which was previously not possible with any automatic
photo-to-painting software.
You can call AIE directly from the Final Output tab. (Requires AI Photo & Art Enhancer)

Custom Brush direction
With Dynamic Auto Painter version 8, we've unleashed even greater artistic control. Our latest release introduces the ability to set custom brush direction for
nuanced brushwork.
Just as a classical artist orchestrates each stroke
with intent, you can now manually adjust brush flow
to logically follow the contours, textures, and forms
being painted.
Signature
New signature engine allows you to quickly emblazon your masterpieces with a personalized artist signature, just like the great masters. A variety of
customizable brushes lets you choose the perfect signature style to complement each painting's aesthetic.
You don't need a graphics tablet or stylus to add your distinctive maker's mark. You can simply draw your signature using mouse which is then rendered with
smooth, natural-looking curves.
You can also trace signature from a scanned image.
Some presets benefit from the proper direction more than others. A good example may be Mosaic, where the natural direction can elevate the results to a more
realistic and visually appealing level.
