Description

impcat (short for Interactive Miniature Painting Catalogue) is a simulator for photorealistic painting results on gaming and tabletop miniatures.

This tool gives you a variety of miniature images that you can select and then paint with colours you own or perhaps wish to purchase. It works with predefined colour palettes, using names and values as promoted by their manufacturers.

To achieve a high quality result the system simulates a four step painting process:
Base colouring, layering, shading and highlighting.

Features:
- A list of 6 biult-in miniatures, provided by Artel "W".
- A list of built-in colour palettes, containing Vallejo Model Color and Vallejo Game Color (308 colours in total).
- Access to miniature template and colour palette DLCs that instantly get updated as soon as we upload new content (completely free, no micro-transactions of any kind).
- An complement recommendation mode that lets you select a base colour and then automatically applies harmonizing layer, shade and highlight paints, which you can then customize at will.
- A photorealistic simulation of the applied paints.
- A shopping list generator that collects the data of all applied colours and gives you the links to the corresponding shop pages.
- A colour mixer tool (to mix predefined paints in multiple steps)
- A colour creator tool (to create and collect your own colours)
- A randomiser tool that randomly distributes colours across a model

v1.2.9

good features, but models are dlc and you have to use other software to set up your own models

v1.2.9

It fills a niche and does it relatively well but has some painful points: 1, it sometimes loses progress when you change focus to another app or turn off your screen; 2, the image selection menu tends to be quite sluggish. Regardless, it still does what you need it to do. Some nice features to add: - search function for models and schemes - grouping/folders for saved schemes, it gets cramped easily - recently used colors swatch on the side

Not intuitive at all. Please read impcat specific reviews online before wasting $3. Not very many models are available and most require separate downloads / imports, depending on if a reliable SVG is even out there.

Couldn't be happier. The instructions can be obtuse at first but it's super easy to use. There's plenty of community made templates available for different models and paint lines
