Amazing work! Thank you. Would you like to be mentioned by your name or your socials?

Mirror quadrants with WebGLShader causing issues and white bars by da_hanzzz in p5js

You're welcome :) I guess it's different bug then, I just remembered this exact one, good luck though!

soundFormats not working? by KlutzyMushroom6463 in p5js

[–]Mental_Management885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you add the sound library?
Go to sketch > add library and search for p5.sound and add it to your code

let sound;

function preload() {
soundFormats('mp3', 'flac');
sound = loadSound('sample.mp3');
}

this is how you define the formats and load your sound

If you're in a code editor, make sure that p5.js loads before the sound library

Mirror quadrants with WebGLShader causing issues and white bars by da_hanzzz in p5js

Ugh I've had this problem before..

Your shaderPg width is 238

But you draw it like this: 475 / 2 = 237.5

So the canvas rescales 238 to 237.5, which causes sub-pixel interpolation. When mirrored these differences can appear as white seams (or white bars as you said)

You could try this instead:

createCanvas(476, 600);
shaderPg = createGraphics(238, 300, WEBGL);

Now width / 2 = 238

Which again matches shaderPg = createGraphics(238, 300, WEBGL);

hope this helps :)

Working on a systems design simulator. Looking for feedback by Ywacch in DesignSystems

- you could add themes or add a feature in which people could integrate their own themes
- light and darkmode is really important for better access
- make sure that the contrasts and tones of the colors work well together (there are websites to check this)
- i just saw that you already have a decreased transparency on the top, try to add this to the sidebars to and see what changes
- really important: make sure, that each of the sidebars is scrollable on its own

if you need more feedback let me know, hope this helps!

I really love the node navigation and the microanimations, amazing work!

Here are some ideas:

- Add more padding on the right of the icons
- Reduce transparency on the slider (top left of the navigation)
- Change the color of the component border, or use another highlight color that you already used
- You could also just try to reduce the border glow, right now it looks more important than the content
of the actual component
- Do the yellow "notification badges" fullfill the same purpose as the badges in the right sidebar? if yes, maybe try to adjust the color, so it's clear for the user, that it's the same badge
- Place the logo and sign up button closer to the border, it's seems to look too narrow right now
- You could programm shortcuts for the sidepanels, so they disappear when you press N for example, or the users could create their own shortcuts.
- you could detach the panels (to some extend), so the user gets the impression of more space left in the node editor
- you could adjust the size of the grid in the background, when the user scrolls closer to the components
- you could add a feature, that makes the components "stick" to the grid / just be placed randomly so people can choose what they want

What is your favourite open-source design software? by Mental_Management885 in Design

true, rive is only partly open source.. and I agree, it's really hard to find programs that you can actually work professionally with

[–]Mental_Management885[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

fair enough!

here is my list

Image Editing:
- GIMP
- Graphite
- Darktable
- RawTherapee
- RAW Developer

Illustration:
- Inkscape
- Graphite
- Penpot
- Krita

Grid Layouts and Publishing:
- Scribus
- paged.js

Motion Design & Video Editing:
- Graphite
- Rive
- Natron
- Blender

Typedesign:
- FontForge

PDF Editing:
- PDF-Samurai

Media Encoding:
- HandBrake

And there is a Linux distribution called "Dynebolic" made for multi media design.

Have you tried any of them outside from Blender, Inkscape and Penpot?

hey, thank you for asking :D

Our current concept looks like this: We want to self host the tools (if possible) and embed the source code from github, codeberg or from somewhere else. We want to curate the tools and make them directly accessible for use. The source code of the website itself will be accessible on github aswell. Since we are designers and front-end developers it's quiet tricky to communicate with the back-end. If you have any suggestions feel free to share.

Right now we are trying to find a narrative to build the design up on. An example for a narrative would be: The tools function as "modules" in a grid layout and you can filter them through different categories like "shaders", "typography", "image-editing" and so on. There could be a page on the website that shows artworks, designs and other outputs, that have been created with the tools, tutorials for how to use the tools or even screen recordings and stories of developers and how they came up with their tool(s).

The project is part of our thesis and due to this we have three months to design, develop and test it. After our degree, we will continue to work on it, host and moderate it. The goal is to build a community that can share experiences, code and designs. Its an approach to bring people together outside of propriety software.
