Design Multilayered 360-degree Experiences
No more limiting tools or complicated 3D software
EASY TO USE
Drawn2 allows you to use Photoshop® to produce multilayered 360 content easily. Illustrate in 360-degrees from scratch or convert 2D images (not meant for VR) into 360 environments & assets. No need for 3D programs, 360-cameras, or VR hardware. Customizable and simple to use for rookies and experts.
SUPERIOR CONTROL
Gain back the control to apply your own unique style in detail without the need to convert images into 3D "postcards." Simply navigate 360° of space with precision and manage an infinite amount of 360 layers in realtime. Save perfect 360-degree images & assets with transparent backgrounds.
ROBUST FEATURES
Included proprietary perspective grid template, fast 360 image processing and rendering (limiting lag). Isolate scene elements & edit layers independently, categorize multiple sets & subsets of images, adjust elements separately or apply edits to whole categories at once (useful in After Effects & Premiere).
ELEVATE 360 ART TO A HIGHER DIMENSION
Drawn2 puts the power back into the hands of the artist by making authenticity and craft the sole drivers of creativity
ILLUSTRATION
360 illustration can be a painstaking process that requires trial and error and working around numerous discrepancies between common illustration techniques and the 360-degree format. Drawn2 allows you to hand-draw accurate and immersive 360 illustrations with detail, precision, & solidity, using standard 2D creation methods.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Incorporate 360-degree design into your workflow for clients interested in using the virtual reality medium to leverage their brand. Meet the full spectrum of art-tech needs by fusing 360-degree design into your 2D workflow. Save time by creating 2D and 360-degree versions of your designs simultaneously (in the same project file) and output both versions simultaneously.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
Convert 2D photos & video into 360-degree experiences. Import 2D media & Drawn2 will transform it into a spherical format. Create 360 worlds with pictures alone. Save unlimited transparent 360 backgrounds to fix stitch lines flawlessly. No need for 3D postcards, panoramas, or 360-cameras. Work with images up to 8K in resolution. Export 2D images to view in full 360/VR with no distortion.
2D ANIMATION
Fast drawing speeds, efficient management of complex characters, environments, and scenes for full-scale 2D and 2.5D 360-degree animation. Great for pre-production, mockups, templates, & coloring. Work efficiently across Photoshop and Animate with the option to create & save separate 2D and 360 versions simultaneously, with no additional work necessary.
3D DEVELOPMENT
Incorporate Photoshop into your 3D workflow without relying on 3D architecture alone to gain advantages over flexibility, speed, precision, computability, and load time. Quickly design elements that are time-consuming to create with 3D software. True 2D raster & vector layer management. Perfect for textures and backgrounds. Save transparent 360 images and assets.
TEAMS & COLLABORATION
Collaborative features such as a Tutorial Mode for designing interactive 360 image training for your students or teams. See tutorial mode demo. Storyboard Mode to create maps for creative teams to follow See storyboard mode demo. Drawn2 is a complete 360-degree solution without the change of 2D infrastructure. An economical alternative or addition to 3D tools. Create "assembly line" type methods to produce loads of 360 content quickly.
Supports Major Image Formats
Create true 2D media in 360°
Drawn2 is the first naturalistic 360-degree design tool for 2D artists
Hand-draw VR Animations
Other VR tools such as Tiltbrush®, Masterpiece®, and Medium® are actually 3D sculpting tools
Create Dynamic 360 Art in Minutes
Drawn2 is a versatile 360 toolkit that provides an array of virtual reality solutions for 2D artists. Take back the control over style and look. No need for 3D layers or 3D architecture. Create intricate “2D style” 360 assets for retro video games. Save versions in 2D & VR simultaneously; even store a 3rd version if needed. Convert 360 projects to other formats, such as equimap to cube-map. Packed with many features like our Tutorial Mode for customizing 360 creation curriculum for students or workers. See this tutorial mode demo. And our Storyboard Mode to map out your vision for creative teams to follow in 360°. See this storyboard mode demo.
2D to 360° — No Problem
Drawn2 makes multilayered 360 design and illustration accessible. Other programs provide ways to create 3D objects. However, Drawn2 lets you create actual 2D images in 360°, which from a stylistic point of view is 100% authentically 2D, so you don't have to convert your work into 3D postcards or be forced to use 3D layers. With Drawn2, you can use traditional 2D creation methods to design 360-degree content within minutes. All Photoshop features will function the same while you work—layers, tools, and all.
There are many advantages of using 2D images (as opposed to using 3D objects) to create 360-degree content. For example, 2D objects are much easier to manage, have fewer complexities, and are far more compatible with other programs and platforms. Also, 2D images have significantly smaller file sizes and require less processing power to render, to name a few.
