Flame Painter overview

Flame Painter 3 is a unique paint application that lets you easily create original artwork, light effects, unconventional design or beautiful backgrounds with flame brushes.

Flame Painter was created within 'I am an Artist' experimental project. The initial vision was to create an application for professional artists as well as for people without artistic skills who want to create original paintings. It is used by thousands of professional CG artists, designers, enthusiasts or children in school and we have had nothing but great feedback.

New features in Flame Painter 3 include Flame Painter Connect - a Photoshop plug-in which works as a live link between Flame Painter and Photoshop, ability to use Wacom tablet pressure pen and Leap Motion camera and a smooth import and export of layered PSD and SVG vector files. Multi-core engine, new high resolution renderer and Photoshop blending modes have made this software a powerful tool for creating professional artworks.

Important: Every Flame Painter user is eligible for 33% discount ($30) on Pro edition. If you'd like to upgrade, go to the Flame Painter Menu: "Help" --> "Upgrade to Pro" and you will be redirected to the website with all necessary information. Professional edition has many advanced features and can be used for commercial purposes.

I downloaded the demo, then purchased the full version through MacUpdate. The email arrived with "If you have downloaded the demo version..." etc. When I click on this link I get a screen that says" 403 Forbidden nginx/1.0.10" and there seems to be nothing more I can do. How to proceed????

It doesn't work. The link is only to the demo version so I paid for a free demo version.
