Hello!

[Francisco Fernandes]

Hello everyone!

My name is Francisco Fernandes and I'm a computational geometry student
in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN
<http://www.ufrn.br>in portuguese), here in Brazil.
In the next months I'll be coding for Krita in this year GSoC.

I proposed<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/chicao/15001>a
sandpainting

more specifically in the aspects of
grain interaction. When we speak about sandpainting, the most relevant
aspect is the dynamic movements of the artist, leaving the color
with a less important role. In this project I'll be focused exactly in
the dynamic movements of the painter and it's effects in the sand, since
I believe I would need more time to deal with the volumetric and the
color aspects of the brush.

My official mentor in this journey is Pentalis, whom helped me a lot in the
conception of the idea. Probably I could not have done this
project<https://www.dropbox.com/s/y504vnlbjrgsont/proposal_fbfj_fix.pdf>without
his support.

Anyway, thank you all to give me this opportunity to be part of the Krita
community and I hope that my efforts help to improve it.

Cheers

Hi Francisco!

Welcome to the Krita project!

Hi Francisco,welcome to krita development. The project sounds interesting,volumetrics in painting are hard to achieve ;)

Hi Francisco,

First of all, Best of luck for your summer of code project! :-)

Just a question. It looks like there are no other softwares which already implement this "sand brush engine". Is it so?

I have tried to "google" a bit but I didn't found any reference to any other sofware (only some tutorials to "fake" this effect).

Needless to say, It would be awesome whether Krita might be the first software to have such magnificent feature :-)

Thanks a lot indeed for being so brave to have a go at it ;-)

Best regards,

Silvio Grosso

Interesting idea,
I hope your experiments will succeed, it sounds like it would be another
awesome and fun painting engine for Krita.

Welcome and good luck! :)
