What is Picture to People ?

"Picture to People" (P2P) is a huge Computer Graphics project. It was started to create new softwares able to make 2D drawing, 3D rendering, vexel drawing, text effects, photo effects, image filtering and other complex Computer Graphics operations. It has been made from scratch, including its low level Computer Graphics libraries like Maccala. Nowadays, most final features produced for this project are released as free online tools available from its official website. This blog talks about Computer Graphics, mainly concerning Picture to People development.

- high fidelity with the original images, even the detailed ones;
- has great configuration level, so you can simulate several drawing styles and media types;
- offers several ways to improve the input image for best results;
- has several beautiful stroke styles;
- offers nice control over outline drawing;
- offers fine grain selection for output colors.
