History
Fresh Paint originated from a Microsoft Research project known as Project Gustav,{{cite web |title=Project Gustav: Immersive Digital Painting |url=http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/gustav/default.aspx |website=Microsoft Research |accessdate=16 March 2014}} an endeavor to reproduce the behavior of physical oil paint on a digital medium. To push the boundaries of simulating oil on a digital medium, the research team created a physics model that precisely replicated on a screen what would happen in the real world if you combined oil, a surface and a tool such as a paint brush. Two publications, Detail-Preserving Paint Modeling for 3D Brushes and Simple Data-Driven Modeling of Brushes,{{cite book |title=Detail-Preserving Paint Modeling for 3D Brushes |url=http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=121930 |accessdate=16 March 2014 |first1=Nelson |last1=Chu |first2=William |last2=Baxter |first3=Li-Yi |last3=Wei |first4=Naga |last4=Govindaraju |date=7 June 2010 |publisher=Association for Computing Machinery, Inc |website=Microsoft Research}}{{cite web |title=Simple Data-Driven Modeling of Brushes |url=http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=120512 |first1=William |last1=Baxter |first2=Naga |last2=Govindaraju |date=February 2010 |publisher=Association for Computing Machinery, Inc}} were released as a result of the team’s findings.
After a variety of internal testing Project, Gustav was codenamed Digital Art.{{cite news |title=Culture City Online: MoMA Goes Hands On With Microsoft Art App |url=https://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/02/19/culture-city-online-moma-goes-hands-on-with-microsoft-art-app/ |website=The Wall Street Journal |first=Pia |last=Catton |date=19 February 2011 |accessdate=16 March 2014}} Partnering with The Museum of Modern Art, Digital Art was tested for a year by 60,000 people. With feedback culled from MoMA, developers expanded the existing physics model, experimenting with how real oil paint blended and reacted to the texture of a canvas. After final adjustments were made, Digital Art was rebranded as Fresh Paint. It was released to the public on 25 May 2012.
