Live animation of freehand strokes   4 comments

One of the goals of Andiamo is to implement a system where real-time rotosketching and animation can be performed  live using video material as the source. Two technical elements are required in order to accomplish this goal. One, a mathematical representation of free hand strokes that allows to attach the strokes to moving features while preserving their overall shape. Second, an algorithm to extract and track relevant motions in a video feed.

Easier azimuth and altitude access in proTablet   Leave a comment

ProTablet is a Processing library, based on JPen, that I wrote a while a to simplify the access to the graphics tablet. Earlier versions of proTablet allowed to grab the pen’s X azimuth and altitude values with the getAzimuthXAndAltitude() method. Read the rest of this entry »

Real-time layer editing in Andiamo   Leave a comment

Version 013 of Andiamo implements a stack of layers that can be edited in real-time. This system is based on the analogy of a drawing made of many semi-transparent sheets of paper. The sheets are stacked on top of one another to generate the final image. Layering is a very important technique that allows to create complex results from a relatively simple palette of effects.
