FireAlpaca SE 3.0 OFFICIAL RELEASE!!

1. New brush engine

Equipped with a brush editor that greatly enhances expressive power and flexibility,

enabling the following features:

• Simultaneous synthesizing of 3 strokes (triple brush)

• Clipping and masking of strokes

• Flexible brush tip expression (combinations of circles, bitmap textures, and SVG paths)

• Stipple function (Non-overlapping pointillism technique)

• Enhanced watercolor parameter

Expressions Enabled by the New Brush Engine.

2. Enhanced Multi-Threading Support

By utilizing our proprietary multi-threading library and parallel allocator, FireAlpaca SE 3.0 fully harnesses many-core processors. Even with large canvases and multiple layers, drawing and transformations remain smooth, while background processes handle differential saving and automatic recovery in parallel. Memory usage is minimized, providing a stable and high-speed environment for long creative sessions. On professional-grade machines, this results in an even more responsive and efficient workflow.

3. New filter system"MFG（Modern Filter-language for GPU）"

It generates HLSL and MSL from the newly developed filter description language "MFG."

In the past, a complied library such as DLL needed to be added as a plug-in in order to add a filter. This method requires preparing a separate library per OS, however some OS doesn't allow to add such library. MFG generates the optimized shader order per OS by writing a filter in the dedicated language. From one source code (filter processing MFG code), it enables the filter processing by utilizing the GPU performance. Without requiring the developing environment, the high-speed processing filter can be developed and added.

4. New file format

In FireAlpaca SE 3.0, a newly designed standard image format has been adopted. It features complete multi-threading support for both reading and writing. As the differential saving allows for low-load and fast saving, it has achieved faster and more stable saving compared to the conventional saving formats.

In FireAlpaca SE 3.0, each ARGB channels have been expanded from the conventional 256 levels to 65,536 levels (when 16bit/ch mode is enabled). This allows for the faithful reproduction of fine gradients and subtle hues while minimizing degradation during color correction and filter application. It achieves a professional-grade color space that can withstand advanced retouching.

5. 16-bit Color Support & Gamma Correction

FireAlpaca SE 3.0 expands each ARGB color channel from 256 levels to 65,536 levels (when 16-bit/channel mode is enabled).

Preserve image quality during color correction and filter processing while achieving smoother gradients and more accurate color reproduction. With support for subtle tonal transitions and professional-grade color precision, FireAlpaca SE 3.0 is ready for advanced retouching and high-quality digital artwork.

6. Project

This feature is ideal for creating works that involve multiple pages or variations, such as manga, brochures, and illustration collections.

By using the ""Project"" feature, you can manage multiple related files together as a single set.

You no longer need to search around for files during your work, and switching between pages becomes smooth. Since the file structure and order are visible at a glance, progress management and revisions can be handled more efficiently.
