MyPaint has a custom procedural brush engine optimized for use with pressure-sensitivegraphics tablets. In later MyPaint versions, the engine was broken out into the separately maintainedlibmypaintlibrary to make it easier to integrate into other applications.[17]
MyPaint's brush library is available as aKrita plugin, and alsoGIMP has support for MyPaint brushes by default.[18]
MyPaint was used byDavid Revoy, the art director ofSintel (the third computer-animated film by theBlender Foundation).[19]
TheAdobePSD file format changed its license in 2006, and it is now only permitted to develop applications using it in order to interact with Adobe software.[20] As a result, a comprehensive graphics design format,OpenRaster, was developed based on the Open Document format. MyPaint uses Open Raster as its default format, but also supports saving images toPNG orJPEG.[21]
