my friend made a cool twitter thread about mixbox, which is this incredible colour-mixing algorithm that behaves like real-life paint https://twitter.com/cirkelnio/status/1793970960196055141
i tried out the demo painting app and it's… magical
i've not actually played with paints in years but i remember how mixing paints irl behaves and have seen videos of it, and this actually recreates that effect, it's so good. somehow i never considered how weird it is that the smudge tool in image editors produces dull results
you can actually like… make a nice palette with this? just “draw” some colours and “smudge” (mix) them together, like you would on a physical palette, instead of using a colour picker?
oh there's a video! https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xsqtg2yRl8M
@hikari i found out about this algorithm thanks to your post. And is indeed amazing!
@hikari it’s very cool, definitely read the paper
