Oil Paint

Artistic

Turns the layer into an oil painting — strokes follow the image structure, wrap around forms and build real impasto ridges

Drawn by the same renderer the editor uses, on a stand-in silhouette. Your layer's own shape, colours and backdrop will change the result.

Controls#

Every control the Shaders tab draws for this effect, with the ranges and defaults it actually uses — read from the shader's own schema, so this table cannot fall out of date. Controls marked conditional only appear once a related setting enables them.
