Verve : fluid painting

pilou

Verve is a tool to create art! I'm improving it to make it more and more powerful, but it is not my goal to make a physically correct oil paint simulation or ink or any of this. If I figure out how to make more exciting color mixing, I will put it in, but even then it will be a digital medium to create art!

OpenGL offers a way to instruct the hardware directly, but it is limited in certain ways, if you want to make it work as fast as it can. The Blend Functions in openGL are rather rudimentary, really, and they only worry about additive blending, like a computer does, like light does. If I want to simulate perfect subtractive color mixing, I would have to go around openGL and write shaders, which could do that. But this would mean extra processing on many levels, thereby slowing everything down a bit more. I'm not too worried about it, because I am planning on experimenting with that anyway. Just not now. First I want to make Verve enjoyable for humans.

Interesting, the last one looks like acrylics. Takes me back to art class. I gotta figure out how to use one of the apps on a Mac. So far I have gotten by without Parallels or Wine etc.
