Curver - Beta Release

Amr0

[edited 22.dec.2016]
Hi everyone! I'm a programmer, and I have been working on Curver.

Curver aims to optimize the process of creating clean line-art by implementing an intuitive sculpting workflow. Featuring a small and focused set of tools, working with curves is no longer a chore.

Instead of lots of trial and error, drawing and undoing, Curver allows you to quickly draw lines and then manipulate them into the desired shape.

Here is an older video. Some things have changed since. A newer video is in the making.

There are A LOT of things to do before it's finished, but we'd like to invite you to use the beta now.

Curver is still in development, but you can get immediate access and get involved right now! Provide feebdack and join discussions to help us evolve Curver into something truly unique and solid.

Looking forward to hearing from you! All feedback is welcome.

Very nice ! I remember seeing your older video, and it looked fantastic already.

I tend to find the current and widespread approach to digital lineart to be quite frustrating (involving so many undos for line correction, and constant zooming in/zooming out to fight the lack of precision of current input devices). Your unique approach seems way more natural and elegant. Can't wait to give it a spin

Wow, it seems to take a sculpting approach to line art, genius  

I'll try the beta later this week if I can, i know a number of friends who would love this.

I thought it was a plugin for Autodesk Sketchbook Pro when I first watched the video. Same clean interface with the tools and layers and the like on their own windows and the round menu. Did Sketchbook Pro inspire the interface?

Sculpting lineart like that however sets this tool way apart from any other program i've seen. Keep up the good work

Kindly see this on how to join.

peteed1985 : Sketchbook was one source of inspiration, yes. A simple clean interface fits nicely for a tool which aims to focus on one single task. Thanks for the encouraging words!

this is soooooooo wrong in a god way that is . I bet a lot of art-teachers are gonna be pissed if this goes big. but I simply love the way you have blended this sculpting technique for sketching.

This look really nice ! I just send a request to try it :>
Does it export in psd ?/ does it contain layer ?

aristides

There are more important things to implement than psd support https://workflowy.com/s/B79nBKC06X. Like the option to rename layers or create shapes

Odow

Oh sundae, i wrote the wrong email. Mixed my personnal and work one >.>

Hi all. We now have enough testers, so we are no longer accepting applications. Thanks to everybody who have joined and to all who have provided feedback. You are all AWESOME!
If you had applied already before this post but have not heard back from us, kindly check your junk folder - we have responded to all applicants.

I put a bunch of feedback up for you, AMR0--but there was no place to put down how cool I think the tool is. It's exactly the kind of thing I've been wishing someone would make for years now. I really hope you continue developing it!

Amr0

Thanks, BSJ. Your feedback is much appreciated, and we hope to hear more from you as the development of Curver progresses. Please continue to use it every now and then to check out the updates.

Imo there's not. What's the purpose of having a super cool thing to do lineart if i can'T freaking export it to color it ? I couldn't care less to rename layers, it's super low priority.

@Odow , it's a beta ... export features are pretty different from core editing features. Even in this early stage I'd say it is pretty damn usable, especially since loading and saving are already fully functional. Printscreen is just a button away, and there are also dedicated screen capture apps out there !

Hi everyone. I'm bumping this since the beta is now available again. Please review the first post as it's been edited.

Looks sweeet there !
