Looks fun. It's standard for software packaged for Linux to include a base directory in its tarball, and I usually check, but I did barf your application all over my /opt.
May sound crazy but I was hoping for export to terminal escape codes / box drawing chars. No biggie, I can convert the output.
Looks like a great addition to the available image editors on Linux. IMO image editing is one of the few areas lagging in Linux. Currently alternating between Pinta, Krita, Gimp and photopea.com. Will switch to this for a while to see it become my new go to.
I don't think some stuff is reasonable, but for most stuff, I find it hard to use. And I don't come from Photoshop, so it's not like a problem of being used to another program or something
Thanks! I will surely keep going. My app also has a bunch of novel features and brings back a bunch of functionality forgotten since the classic Macintosh era.
Not necessarily, ASE is has a smooth UI that people like and as long as you're fine within the constraints.
This one is great since it allows for in-editor previewing of "weird" ideas, I know I've re-invented that UV-mapping workflow shown with the skeleton on the page once for a game-jam and wanted to use it but skipped it in the end since asset-creation was "annoying", having support in an editor to preview it easily can be a game-changer.
I tried this for pixel art and came away a bit disappointed. It seems to have no real support for drawing using palettes / indexed colors. Sure, you can setup or load a palette, but the drawing tools make no reference to it, and continue to colors outside of it. The color pickers don't even show the palette, they just show the full color wheel. Where is the support for dithered gradients using on palette colors? Where is the support for antialiasing using only palette colors? Maybe this is planned, but given it's already at v2.0 I'm surprised the pixel art support is so half-baked.
It's possible to implement dithering and posterization using the node graph, where you paint normally and it outputs as dithered pixel art in whatever palette you want. It's not a perfect replacement for builtin tools, but still pretty cool. Someone showed their setup for this in the Discord server.
That's cool that you can do that. I worry though that the level of complexity required to set that sort of thing up will act as a hurdle for many that might want to use that feature.
If the node graph is saved in the document (?) perhaps there exists then a "template" (empty document) where the node graph is already set up for palette dithering. That would make it easy to onboard for new users.
I am working on Pixel Editor for retro graphics. What do you believe that ASE is missing? At the moment I am targetting the Zx Spectrum Next that I have recently backed. However if I get some compelling ideas I migth deviate from my original objective.
For retro graphics, definitely a palette editor and animation tool. Frame by frame animation is one thing. Bone animation is better. UV indexed bone animation is best. But there’s something fucking magical about palette animated backgrounds. Color cycling animation.
The project is indeed FOSS - it's licensed under MIT according to their GitHub repository (https://github.com/PixiEditor/PixiEditor), though they offer a paid version with additional features.
I thought I'd seen this posted just 2 days ago, it looks like that post is this post and the timestamp just got updated. I know HN boosts interesting posts that slips through the gaps, but I think it should be more transparent then just updating the timestamp and presenting it as a new post.
