✦AI Summary
A developer details the creation of a digital painting tool that uses edge-aware grids and Gaussian splatting to simulate brush strokes. The project explores how computational geometry can translate image structure into artistic, painterly marks.
Last year I built an edge-aware pixelation tool to turn images into pixel art by deforming a grid so that it follows image edges instead of naively using a fixed grid over the picture. Using an edge adapter grid bent to inform the color and brightness of the pixels worked well for keeping edges crisp and preserving details.
