ArcheOS 4 software list

Hi all,
to answer Salvatore Schimenti's question on ArcheOS FaceBook page, I report here the complete software list of version 4.0 (codename Caesar). Soon, with a series of short post, I will also try to describe the main archaeological applications of each software. The list is also available on github ArcheOS wiki.

  1. When you mentioned Alchemy - Drawing program for hand-made sketch, are we talking about:

    http://al.chemy.org/

    or other different software?

    MyPaint is also a good choice for illustration artists. It provides good graphic pen support and many different brushes (charcoal, watercolor, and others)

    Jerzy Sikora (aka Gunther) also tied it, apparently with good results:

    1. Hi Ricardo,
      yes I was meaning exactly http://al.chemy.org/ especially for sketch oriented to 3D reconstructions (with Blender).
      I did not know MyPaint. I just downloaded it and I will do some tests. It looks a good software, could be useful in 2d archaeological drawing. Did you already use it in archeology?

  2. I only used MyPaint to retouch some drawings and also to color some plans, always with good results. The program provide a large collection of brushes simulating different types of ink pens, charcoal, pastel, watercolor and many others. In some way you can face it like a GIMP expansion, because GIMP stamp creation isn't one of the software strongest points. rgaidao.
