I got the bundle from pling. It works with the same appimage (5.2.6) on opensuse Leap, opensuse Tumbleweed, and KDE neon. It also works on windows 10 and windows 11 with Krita 5.2.6. (not from the windows store)
Unfortunately, it does not show up on Manjaro 24.2.1. I have deleted the resourcecache.sqlite with Krita closed, deleted and reimported the bundle, deleted both the cache and the bundle at the same time. deactivated the bundle and restarted Krita. None of these are solutions for this distribution of Linux.
I am going to completely remove Krita and associated files and start over. If that fails, Manjaro has to go. I don’t see any other options at this point.
Update: I searched my Manjaro hard drive for all files krita* and deleted them. Some required root permissions. I then copied the appimage from my server back into my home directory. Created a shortcut in the menu editor and ran krita, in order to create the .local/share/krita folder. I shut down Krita, and replaced .local/share/krita with one I saved previously, which is full of downloaded resources.
I then, using the manage resources menu option, imported the memileo impasto brushes. It worked, by golly.
I imagine there were some buggy leftovers from when I installed krita using pacman from the manjaro repository, and the appimage was using them. Clearing out those files must (may) have done the job.
I hope this helps anybody with the same or similar problem.
One thing you can try is to unpack the bundle into the respective subfolders of your resource folder and see if Krita will load the brushes then.
A bundle is a simple ZIP file, and from this bundle/ZIP file you need the folders: brushes, paintoppresets and patterns, the folder META-INF only holds meta-data about the bundle you don’t need.
Are you willing to share your solution with the rest of the world, or will other users facing the same problem as you, have to figure it out for themselves in the future?
This set of brushes is really good! Thanks for sharing!
I really liked the RGBA brushes, so I started using them regularly. Now I’m trying out Memileo I.B. and I really liked the results. This set of brushes is making me think about painting/drawing in a different way, because I haven’t had much experience with traditional oil paints. In other words, it’s been difficult, but very rewarding (<< google translator)
Cut/detail of what I’m doing:
Thank you these brushes are amazing I’m a very new artist in general (especially to digital) but I love that I can do oil/acrylic brushes with textures now!
Here are 2 blend files to help aid anyone that would like to create their own brushes like these: A sculpt setup and a compositing setup to chop it up into little brush tip slices.
You can then import the rendered slices in Krita as file layers (make sure you remove any other layers before exporting to gih format).
The sculpt file just have basic materials so you’ll probably want to change that.
They should work in Blender 3.6 - 4.3
Let me know if you run into any issues or if I should explain any specifics. Also, feel free to share any improvements made to these. ^^
I’ve been meaning to read through this thread and the WIP one for clues on how you made the brushes, thank you so much for posting these!
Truthfully as someone who is a bit rusty on Blender, getting started at all is a little daunting - I don’t even know what my first task would be.
Feel free to point me to a previous post if you’ve written all this before, but how do you think a “3D Light Brushtip Creation for Newbies” trial run should look like? xD
(p.s. No promises on the timeline of me making stuff because I do have a few other projects cooking in the background, and ty once again!)
This is exactly the kind of step-by-step I was crossing my fingers for (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄)
I bet everyone who tries making these brushtips is gonna really appreciate such detailed info, I know I am! I’ll be back in the future too when I inevitably get stuck xD Have a lovely evening
thank you for this resource! im trying it out and getting overwhelmed as I am a beginner in blender but it seems like it could be really interesting and fun to mess around with if i can get it to work
accidently found a cool and easy texture while playing with these brushes again. The brushtips with a edge like memileo_360light_Q_03_incremental_performance, just leave the angle at 0°. Horizontal stroke= vertical line and Vertical stroke= Horizontal line, with distance and size adjusted by spacing and brush size/ pressure
For those having trouble importing the brushes on native installs in Linux, the author of this github issue traced the problem to the default chunk cache size of 8mb in libpng, preventing any brush larger than 8mb from importing since libpng will truncate the metadata when krita attempts to read from the .kpp file.
Applying the patch to increase the chunk cache size resolved the issue for me. But if your package manager does not support applying user patches, then copying over the resourcecache.sqlite of a compatible version of krita that was able to successfully import the brushes seems to work just fine too.
Is there any other way to buy these brush instead of using Gumroad? I can’t use Gumroad because I don’t have credit card and my paypol is not verified. Or could I buy it directly to your Paypal? Thanks.
Hi, no not at the moment. (You can download them for free on pling.) But you can donate to Krita which will benefit me and many other artists indirectly: Donations | Krita
