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.

"Only who makes has true knowledge. Knowledge is control. True power depends on total control. Only who makes from scratch has the real power."

Create engraved text effects online

Let me tell you a little bit about P2P engraved text effects. They were published a few time ago, and I have been receiving a very positive feedback from users, because they are powerful and very easy to use.

These fresh Realistic Engraved Text Effects can create very eye catching results and have very useful configuration possibilities, including some advanced options, like:
- engrave deepness;
- light direction;
- engrave style (full engrave or just the outline);
- irregular damaged borders;
- plate with rounded corners.

There are many engraved text effect themes, like, for example:
- Engraved Cracked Text Effects;
- Engraved Concrete Text Effects;
- Engraved Metallic Text Effects;
- Engraved Ice Text Effects.

The full list is big, but I can tell currently the most popular engraved text renderes are the Engraved Stone Text Effects, the Engraved Wood Text Effects and the Engraved Sand Text Effects. Despite these are very new softwares, they are getting more and more popular fast. The first one, for example, already is the 4th result in Google for search expression "engraved stone text effect".

To choose among all themes, you just need to go to the Realistic Engraved Text Effects page. Below I show you two examples of high quality engraved text effects created online by using theses generators. The second sample was created by using the option "Engraved borders".

Realistic rock texts - a new example

I would like to show you another example of stone text created with the last Picture to People tool. It uses state of art, complex procedural algorithms to generate the more realistic free stone/rock text effects ever.

Despite all complexity behind the scenes, the parameters you have to set are just the ones you could easily understand. It was never so easy to create realistic stone text effects.

Compared to the previous example, I changed the stone renderer, the guide font, the background color and the rock reference colors. The result is totally different (click to enlarge).


According to users testimonies, my new stone/rock renderer is one of the most useful and exciting tools I have ever made for Picture to People project. I'm very happy with the good feedbacks I have been receiving.

You can use this amazing tool at the Stone Text page.

Realistic stone text effects

I worked very very hard to create the most recently published Picture to People tool. It's a stone renderer able to create astonishing texts made of rock/stone.

Now you can get very easily the most realistic rock text effects. Since this feature is very configurable, the amount of possible results is countless. Among the several parameters, you can select the background color and even influence the stone colors.

You can set a stone rendering type by choosing from a list with several options. The text images generated have a good 3D look and there are a good amount of useful shadow parameters too.

Below I show the kind of stone text effect you can get using this new Picture to People tool (click to see in real size).

Create your own stone/rock texts by using the Stone Text section at Picture to People official website.

Write your text on rock


Now you can dig your words on rock. I have created a new effect to make text on rock, but as hole.

By the way, I'm glad, cause I finally could defeat the bothering bug of my ready rasterizer. This way, the dreamed new one can wait for the right time when I will be able to concentrate on it.

I'm still researching to find out new nature like text effects. I really want this part of P2P software have a nice variety.

Above you can see a word as hole in rock.

Text made of rock


I have created another "stone text".

It was just an enjoy to show you. I'm very busy dealing with a bug in my (old) rasterizer that happens when I fill hierarchical polygons.

I need to fix this bug, since the task to create a new rasterizer with my own math models is suspended, and I don't know when I will have time to go back to it. Probably this task would last months and I don't know if it will work.
