Fractal Design's Expression reverted to its original developer, Creature House, who later sold the product to Microsoft. After a successful installation of Painter, Painter Essentials, or ParticleShop on a Windows based system, there are some times when the applications will not launch and result in a crash.

MetaCreations Painter Classic v1.01
For Macintosh and Windows PC's

With Painter Classic 1.01, anyone can paint or draw with realistic results, render scanned photographs into chalk sketches or oil paintings and create animated flipbooks and export them as digital movies.

Painter Classic can simulate the tools and textures of Natural-Media, from felt pens, charcoal, and colored pencils to watercolor and oils. It gives you freedom to sharpen, soften, and retouch scanned photographs, clone, or make your image appear as though it were painted on handmade paper.

The first download is a hybrid '.iso' CD image of the Mac and Windows installer set in a '.zip' archive.

The second download is a CD image of Corel Painter with installers for English, German and French languages. It's essentially a rebranded version by Corel after MetaCreations sold off their creative interests. This CD was bundled with a Wacom Art Pad in 2000. The download is a Toast image, compressed in a '.zip' archive.

MetaCreations was a computer software company that was best known for its graphics applications, notably Ray Dream Studio/Infini D, Fractal Design Painter, Bryce, and Kai's Power Tools.

History[edit]

MetaCreations was founded in 1997 by the mergers of MetaTools, Fractal Design Corporation, Ray Dream, Specular, and Real Time Geometry Lab (RTG).^[1] John Wilczak and Mark Zimmer led the initial operations. Wilczak left the company in 1998. The software and GUI designer, highly valued creative head for his contributions to the public brand appearance,^[2]Kai Krause (MetaTools, Goo-Series, KPT, ...) left shortly afterwards in 1999.

In 1999, MetaCreations invested itself heavily in the newly developed '3d on the Web' technology 'MetaStream' and began restructuring from graphics applications to Internet technology. MetaCreations formed a subsidiary company called MetaStream, acquired Viewpoint Digital, and ultimately merged all operations together to become the Viewpoint Corporation. (The name Viewpoint derives from Viewpoint DataLabs International, Inc. which was a 1988 founded enterprise that specialized in the area of digitalisation and modelling for the movie industry like for Star Trek, and it got under the hood of Computer Associates in 1998.^{[citation needed]}) The newly formed Viewpoint Corporation divested itself of all former MetaCreations graphics products to push MetaStream technology.

In 2000, Eliven bought all not-yet possessed shares of Viewpoint Digital Inc. from Computer Associates International Inc. which held about 17.7% of the full daughter Metastream Corporation at that time.^[3] In the process of this Viewpoint got declared the Consumer Products division of the Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ENLV). Further Viewpoint’s NASDAQ stock ticker symbol changed from VWPT to ENLV to reflect the Company’s name change in January 2008.^[4][5]
