Picture to People: Drawing like a human

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.

Drawing like a human - example 2

Here I show you the last "Real Pencil" example for a while. Can you see like the delicate strokes follow the photo structure? It's one of the more important features of this renderer.

As a complete project, this tool uses libraries that even I took hundreds of hours to develop. Anyway, it was a worthy effort, because the users feedback is very positive: they say it really can generate "human style" drawings.

I'm already working hard in several other Picture to People sub-projects. If everything keeps going well, there are some surprises coming.
