vPaint 4: Day Three

Live Effects

Day 3 - I've added new type of layers (now called Objects) - Live Effects. Similar to Smart Filters in Photoshop, Live Effects are not permanently applied to a layer. You can change their properties even AFTER applying them, without creating the layers underneath them again.

vPaint 4: Day Two

Drawing (Part 1)

Now, vPaint has only one drawing tool - a primitive brush. Just for testing.

Also, I wrote the basic code for moving and zooming the view.

vPaint 4 Splash Screen Design

Splash Screen

This is the basic design of vPaint 4 splash screen. Nothing else.

vPaint 4: Day One

UI Basic Design

This is vPaint 4 after first day of writing its new code.

What do we have:

• 2 different UDFs just for button rendering
• Basic code for layers, paths
• No image editing at all
• Riddicoulus number of lines: 1582

So, this is the first screenshot of rewritten vPaint, there's still hope it'll work better than 3.8

No 3.9

There will be no version 3.9 of vPaint. I'll work on 4.0.

TODOs:

• multi-file support
• modifying path's points
• 3D scenes (OpenGL)

TODO #1

TODO #1:

Exporting paths to Illustrator

vPaint 3.9 may introduce possibility of exporting

GDI+ paths to Illustrator format.

Illustrator format (.AI) is just a PDF with another extension. So we can use Illustrator to make PDFs. It also stores information about gradients, layers.

3.8 is out!

Version 3.8 is officially published. So check it out here.
