@volpeon maybe they are my mailman... :neofox_thonk: i wouldn't ever find out because i'm usually working when the mail is delivered, which means i can't see who puts things in my mailbox. :neofox_flop:
Oooh, #GraphiteEditor has the node graph functionality, which allows you to compose vector objects from the primitives like fill, stroke, transform and live filters in a visual manner!
Node graph interface and filters both give me this nice break-out I needed after LPEs in #Inkscape. Don't get me wrong: that program is THE legend, developers are masters of vectors, and it's purely native Gtk toolkit on which application is built. Right now, their priority is CMYK support, so follow if you're into printing.
I just love to experiment with shiny new software that's #OpenSource, especially one that uses #RustLang and #web to its advantage.
Watch 'em apply circular repeat filter on a mere line to produce this fun sparkle effect. (It is Graphite's official channel, by the way. Wish they were on Mastodon?)
@vintprox thanks for sharing this! Never heard of graphite before, but I starred this and hope to tinker with it soon. I've been trying to tear my partner away from macOS and Adobe for the past three years since I migrated to Linux desktop and this tool could be a gamechanger! Then I'd just need a killer self hosted browser based photo library/DAM.
Speaking of self-hosted libraries, I discovered that, unnfortunately, media powerhouse Jellyfin doesn't has photo albums yet. Would be a great time just casually switching between my favorite movies, music and photos.
This is so much better than our first #videoTest, and more what I had in mind when it comes to our #vectorArt in the framework of Inkscape #tutorials.
Hopefully, #MastoArt & #FediArt followers are more interested in #Inkscape, this time. Of course that's among our main reasons to make videos in the first place, not just selfish promotion. Every time one of our videos will turn an #Adobe#Illustrator user into an @inkscape artist, we are promoting #FreeSoftware successfully.
