Features
The current versions of Procreate use Valkyrie, a proprietary graphics engine to allow customizable brush options and importing brushes from Adobe Photoshop.[14] The app also allows for animation. Savage expanded upon Procreate's Animation features with the companion app dedicated to 2D animation called Procreate Dreams, released in November 2023.[15][16] While the application is commended for its intuitive interface and accessibility,[17] some reviewers have noted that it may lack some key animations features, such as reference layers.[18]
