armortools VS Graphite

I am glad people are working on it!!

Have you seen Kha by any chance? It has similar goals. I find it quite awesome, but it won't gain mass adoption for a bunch of reasons. https://github.com/Kode/Kha

Someone built an immediate mode renderer on top https://github.com/armory3d/zui, which is utilised by ArmorPaint https://armorpaint.org. I also use Zui for my own bespoke 2D game engine.

I find this tech and tooling really quite amazing (just look at how little source code Zui has) given just how small the ecosystem around it is. I think Kha really illustrates what can be achievable if the lower levels have robust but simple APIs, just exposing the bare minimum as a standard for others to build upon.

For the kind of project I work on (mostly 2d games), I think it would really awesome if your framework also supported low level audio, and a variety of inputs such as keyboard, mice, and gamepads. If it also had decent text rendering support it would basically be my dream library/framework.

A lot of people use Substance Painter (or other tools - thinking of trying out Armor Paint at some point) to make the textures separately after making the mesh and UVs in Blender. It's definitely possible to do texturing and so on within Blender as well, but I personally haven't found a good workflow for this yet for producing high-quality results.

This is the first large piece of (GUI) desktop software I've seen written in Haxe. Not that I've seen all software ever of course, just thought it was interesting.

May I suggest Armory Painter (https://armorpaint.org)

One of the best examples of this is Armorpaint an open source texture painting tool.

ArmorPaint - haven't used that one, but it looks promissing

There is also Graphite (https://graphite.rs/) which, unlike Gimp, has a modern architecture and very ambitious goals (Blender for 2D basically).

If you're interested in either computational geometry, layout/packing/constraints, or functional programming language concepts, those are all the math-related concepts that we're currently interacting with for Graphite, a 2D vector graphics editor that's aiming to become the next Blender (but for 2D instead of 3D). If that sounds interesting, I'd love to help get you started if you want to join our Discord and I can explain the math-related work that we need to get done. Cheers!

Not sure which web-based spreadsheet app you're talking about, because there are many that do use these frameworks. Here's a PS/AI clone built with a Svelte frontend: https://graphite.rs

Wanted to contribute to a good Rust-based project last week, started searching and found a good Reddit thread featuring several great projects. Looked at and found Graphite. I liked the concept though I know almost nothing about graphic design.

I'm currently trying to decide on the SD server to deploy with Graphite, both for running locally (with Tauri desktop builds) and for us to host on a server for users.
