WILD 3D Image Hose nozzles with nearly 1,000 styles to choose from!!!!!!! It comes equipped with 55 unique nozzle libraries. 

If you're into making extrusions, patterns, buttons, and animations, Tubular Neon is for you. You'll really love these fabulous nozzles once you understand how to use them. They are absolutely wild and fun. The libraries are packed full with a variety of choices under each title. The variations you can achieve are endless, literally. Create an infinite variety of designs for all kinds of artwork. 3D lettering you've only dreamt about can now be done in a jiffy in an assortment of looks and textures. Now you can create backgrounds that rival the best. Tiling with these nozzles are so exciting. This product opens up new worlds of achievement in artistry! I'm impressed, no doubt about it. With each selection you can make adjustments to create new looks. I'm telling you, the variety is endless. If you are familiar with Painter, then you know the effects you can create by making adjustments. Open up the PDF file and read it through first so you'll understand the methods for using Tubenon.

Make adjustments with Velocity, Direction, Pressure, Source, Random, and Sequential. You can choose from Shiny, Matte, Flat, or Mixed. Also make your selections from psychedelic to metals to plant styles. Add spiral or random rotation, render color and pattern from pen direction, velocity, or pressure, change color, opacity and shading to reflect direction, speed, or pressure from your pen stroke. Tubular Neon also creates alpha channels/masks allowing for quick 3D texture mapping.

Below I've tried to give just an idea of what this program contains:

Great add-on! I think it's an exciting addition to Painter.
