Painty’s node-based workflow.
Paint·y:
- Of, coated with, or soiled with paint: a painty finish; painty overalls.
- Having a crudely or clumsily painted surface: The stage set consisted chiefly of painty scenery.
I am developing experimental, stroke-based rendering software—affectionately known as Painty. The software takes a photo, 3D rendering, or some other image as input, perceptually deconstructs it, then rebuilds a new image as a sequence of brush strokes.
Painty uses image processing and machine vision algorithms but is guided by my background in art & design. The idea is to transform—not simply filter—the source images from photographs into plausible paintings.
