What it does
Experience oil painting like never before. Oleosa captures real physical oil paint textures and brings them to your fingertips — three powerful brush engines that no other painting app can match. UNLIKE ANY OTHER PAINTING APP Most painting apps simulate brushes with digital stamps. Oleosa is different — every stroke is mapped directly from real physical oil paint. The result looks and feels like actual paint on canvas, not a digital imitation.
Real physical oil paint textures mapped to your fingertips. Three professional brush engines, 100+ textures, and built-in lessons. Available on iOS and Android.

I've made a drawing app based on my physical sketching practice, using fluid sim and some shader tricks to mimic watercolor-style ink washes. Best used on iPad or with a drawing tablet. The linked article shows how the core engine works, with plenty of little interactive demos. It was fun to make, sharing in hopes others find it fun too :)

Krita RGBA Tech – Bringing Realistic Metal to Life in Open-Source Art2024 · github.com · ▲271Krita's v4.2+ RGBA brushtips let you paint with dimensionality, and it's a technology that Photoshop doesn't have (≖‿ゝ≖) It lets the creator do things like emulating light direction, making brushstrokes look 3D. I used them to make a set of metallic brushes. If there are any FOSS artists around, feel free to test them out. (p.s. Yes, I am learning Github so I probably made repository mistakes - apologies in advance lol)

Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
