Artistic vexel drawing from photos

Now there is a very important and exciting Picture to People sub-project under development. Since P2P vector based low level libraries already are really stable and powerful, it's time to tackle a new and hard challenge: develop a never seen, higher level, vexel based, rendering engine with data extracted from photographs.

The focus is about getting a very flexible (configurable) tool, able to make very artistic and innovative drawings, but without lose the most important informations from input photos.

Just after doing this, Picture to People libraries will be taken to an even higher level: be able to make vector based drawings with directed field warping and arbitrary multi-level alpha.

Picture to People vexel renderer

Picture to People site now has a vexel renderer. It's configurable and have 3 shape/color levels and 3 line levels. If you prefer, you can use no lines at all. Using this renderer you can transform a photo in a nice "artifical looking" draw, always keeping the main information from the original image.

This tool uses a different interface style, where you have, in the same page, an example of all possible configurations. Like most Picture to People graphic tools, you can also change the renderer outputs preprocessing the input photos. Another good idea is to use the vexel renderer and other effects together to achieve new and different results.

Possibly more vexel tools will be added to Picture to People in future.
