iForce73 - Environments 2.0 - Michelist Re-Pack

Today, I would like to make a small gift to the community, simply because other users keep asking for this resource collection and how to install it on Krita 5. ¹

Since iForce73 has not yet realized his announcement to release a new, improved bundle, I have decided to take this step. And since iForce73 has published this resource compilation under the CC BY 3.0 license, I am entitled to offer it to you in a modified form, the license is attached as PDF and HTML file.
I can neither exclude nor promise that I will not do the same with his other resource collections, if their respective licenses allow it. ²

Thus, I have (again) combined the “Environments 2.0” resource compilation created by “IForce73” into a single bundle to be installed individually, because a first non-public attempt on my part some time ago had a small, now fixed, bug.
In a side-by-side test, in which I installed the original “Environments 2.0” resource bundle from iForce73 in two Krita installations (4.4.8 and 5.2.6) and the all-in-one bundle I created in a third (5.2.6) Krita installation, ³ I did not notice any differences in the behavior of the respective brushes, so I assume that the brushes should work for you as well.

Without knowing if it is the same for you, I found and still find the brushes HNE Bark, HNE Bark or Twigs 1, HNE Bark or Twigs 2, HNE Bark Texture a bit unusual in their behavior, but they behave identically everywhere, so please do not claim these brushes as defective.

As always, all credits go to iForce73, I just bundled it, nothing more, he did the work, but if anything doesn’t work with this bundle, you can report it here in the forum, because iForce73 hasn’t been seen online for two years.

New alternative link, since Ufile.io seems to be defunct. At least, I’m unable to login or to download my content from them currently:

Happy Christmas!

¹ In Krita open ‘‘Settings’’ click on ‘‘Manage Resource Libraries…’’ in the opening dialog click on ‘‘Import’’ then, in the next opening dialog, browse to the bundle you want to install, select it and confirm the selection, so Krita can import the selected bundle.
It may be needed to activate the bundle after you imported it this way, the button to activate/deactivate a bundle can be found beside the import button, but usually it will be active after import.

² At the moment, I have to recover from a hospital stay.

³ Both Krita 4.4.8 and the two Krita 5.2.6, freshly installed, all three running in parallel, separated by user accounts.

Add/Edit: Added an alternate download location.
Add/Edit 2: Removed the again working ufile.io links. At least for the time, they do not let me log in into my account.

Thank you so much, @Michelist. This pack is one I hadn’t backed up and so I lost it when my laptop died a couple months ago. I’m so happy to have it again (and I backed it up this time :grinning: ).

Now it should be available to everyone for at least two years. And if it should really be possible to combine and offer Krita’s resources on an “institutionally managed” website, then I would be happy to fill any gaps in the range.
And if you’re missing any more brushes because of your deceased laptop, then send me the list. Let’s see where I can help out.

Hi, thanks for the re-pack it’s create. Just one thing when I try to activate the value or hue settings per example in the brush settings my krita crashes. It’ only happens with those brushes so I was wondering if there’s a way to fix it please

Correction, it seems to be a problem with krita itself sorry

:slight_smile: Hello @TheOtherGuy, and welcome to the forum!

You should always name the parts of the equation that belong to the issue you describe.
Here it begins, as always, with your OS and the version of it.
We also always need to know the exact version number of Krita used, you can find it via Help > Bug Report behind Version:.
Then we need to know from where your copy of Krita stems. Is it the one out of the repo of your Linux distro, is from Steam, out of the stores of Apple, Epic or Microsoft, is it from Krita’s homepage? And if it is from Krita’s homepage, is it the installer or the portable version for Windows or the AppImage, the snap or the Flatpak version for Linux?

Furthermore, we need of course the names of the brushes you tried your changes on, or does every single brush from this bundle crash Krita when you try adding value or hue settings in the brush editor? Have you alternatively tried to vary value and hue via their keyboard shortcuts, instead of adding fixed values in the brush presets themselves?

This information may allow us to recreate the issue you describe, and then perhaps also offer a solution.

Add/Edit: Again I ran in my trap of full page editing, I haven’t seen that you posted in between. And I have issues to recreate your issue from Krita 5.2.16 over 5.3.1 to 6.0.1 I can change the settings with those brush presets I tested, so your assumption it may be your Krita can be correct. I hope you can sort it out.

Hi, thanks didn’t expect such a quick response. I did install the alpha version of Krita to test and it did work. So after uninstalling the alpha and cleaning everything it does work again.
