G'mic 4.0: Squaring the Pixel, Easier
19 hours ago
- G'MIC 4.0 marks a major milestone with 644 filters, focusing on stability and performance.
- New filters include Pixel Stretch, Gradients [Poles], Marker Drawing, Heightfield Warp, Offset Stripes, and Multi Color Transfer.
- The Multi Color Transfer filter is a novel algorithm from a research collaboration, supporting three methods and semi-supervised guidance.
- Core improvements include new commands like random_patches, shape_hilbert, pca, depthmap3d, and normalmap3d, plus enhanced matrix operations.
- A new repository, gmic-interactive-demos, offers interactive demonstrators for science outreach, such as the SteamFace Machine and Virtual Artist.
- G'MIC supports creative coding with short scripts and the 'G'MIC Adventures' series, showing rapid prototyping of visual effects.
- The project sees wider distribution through GEGL integration, PhotoFlare, Affinity Photo, and Snap Store availability.
