Description

impcat (short for Interactive Miniature Painting Catalogue) is a simulator for photorealistic painting results on gaming and tabletop miniatures. This tool gives you a variety of miniature images with individually customizable body sections, that you can paint with colours you own or perhaps wish to purchase. It works with predefined colour palettes, using names and values as promoted by their manufacturers. To achieve a high quality result the system simulates a four step painting process: Base colouring, layering, shading and highlighting. Features: - A set of 6 built-in miniatures, by Artel "W", with up to nearly 30 individually paintable sections - A set of built-in colour palettes, as well as additional palettes from our DLC server (around 1000 paints to choose from, and growing) - A file handling system for importing custom image and paint templates (visit impcat.de/faq for instructions) - Access to a growing online library of free DLCs (visit impcat.de/about for full list of contents) - An automated complement recommendation mode that lets you select a base colour and then automatically applies harmonizing layer, shade and highlight paints, which you can then customize at will. - A photorealistic simulation of the applied paints. - A shopping list generator that collects the data of all applied colours and gives you the links to the corresponding shop pages - Saving and loading options for your colour configurations - A colour creating tool, for creating opaque and metallic paints of any colour you like - A colour mixing tool, for testing mix results of your paints - A randomizer, for getting colour scheme inspiration by letting impcat ramdomly distribute a set of colours across the model

★★★★★Useful🇺🇸 US

It’s a useful app, very annoying the in-app store doesn’t work for me. If you go on Reddit and look up the app then you should be good for SVGs to use. The colors the app has are very good and I’m happy with it overall.

★★★★★Landscape please!!🇺🇸 US

Begging for a landscape mode, otherwise it’s an alright app, definitely needs more support overall though

★★★★★Iffy for warhammer🇺🇸 US

If you want to use this for warhammer minis I would be cautious. There is a subreddit you can look at to find a list of models they have for you to work with (which requires an entirely separate download and import) but the list is not all encompassing and is missing allot of models. In some cases there are fan made or proxy models that are so far off base that it’s useless if you wanted to see how your model would look. ( I’m looking at you, weird spider leg tyrant guard). If you can find your models in the mega link from the sub Reddit and go through the process of importing it then yea the app works pretty well but otherwise you more than likely aren’t getting a SVG and you just wasted 3$

★★★★★Feels like a Beta that could improve🇺🇸 US

Not really user friendly, and could really use a UI design team to fix this. Having a wider database of models would help as well. I’m a warhammer painter and there’s just too many hoops to jump through to put time into this for now. Maybe when it gets some updates I’ll revisit the app. Cool idea, so I hope this all works out in the end.

★★★★Really Poor Product🇺🇸 US

Comes with a tiny selection of models and no instructions on adding more. If an app doesn't work by itself, its not a finished product. Should not be on the app store yet. Don't spend your money.

PlumMD· 2024-01-16
★★★★★Really cool🇺🇸 US

Great features, model variety is sadly a bit low but it’s really nice for messing around with new color schemes, don’t go in expecting for the exact model you want to paint to be there

jsinisi002· 2023-11-13
★★★★★Worked good till recently🇺🇸 US

I loved using this app for color schemes for my warhammer armies but I recently have been having issues with it now when I try to use a lot of mixed colors where it will affect the layers of paint for about 10 seconds before the app restarts and all my progress in painting is gone I tried redownloading the app and even using different colors but it still happens and kinda makes the app hard to if not unusable so if this gets fixed then it’s great

★★★★★Great App, Requires Base Level Intelligence to Operate🇺🇸 US

Too many reviewers seem to have trouble figuring out how to import files… you can get access to loads of additional files and paints needed to start doing mock-ups with 5 minutes of bare minimum research. This isn’t rocket science; it’s basic app and phone literacy. If you’re having trouble with this then you likely have far more important things to worry about than leaving reviews detailing your ineptitude with entry-level tech.

★★★★★Fantastic app, but takes some setup🇺🇸 US

I’m a beginner painter and I’m not trying to invest much time or money in my models at this time. I just used this app in a very basic way to plan my color scheme and I’m really happy with how well it worked. I did have to put in some effort to download the models I wanted. I consider myself tech-savvy and the impcat subreddit was very helpful so this didn’t take me long. However, if you’re looking for the app to contain everything from the get-go or if you don’t want to navigate the download process, this isn’t the tool for you.

★★★★iPad version doesn’t have Apple Pencil support🇺🇸 US

Update broke Apple Pencil functionality. Major bug that’s gone unfixed for three months. Unacceptable for a paid app.
