Our take on Vermillion - VR Painting
The focus on wet-on-wet oil painting gives the studio a specific working method, but narrows its scope compared with general-purpose digital art software. The four-layer limit also constrains projects that depend on many independently editable elements.
What is Vermillion - VR Painting?
Vermillion simulates an oil painting studio in VR, with wet-on-wet mixing on the palette and canvas, multiple brushes, pressure-sensitive marks, and a hand-steadying tool.
Paintings can use up to four layers that can be merged or reordered. An integrated web browser supports reference images, YouTube paint-alongs, and canvas projection for tracing. Paint-by-numbers templates can be generated from local or online images, with palettes containing between 2 and 20 matching colors. Multiplayer supports painting with up to three other people, including Quest 2 cross-platform play. Finished work can be mounted in virtual studios, exported as images up to 8k, or saved as 3D models for VR homes and social VR applications.
