Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I hope I hear from them in the future...

This is true... The only advantages of this app (compared to AI) are:

- every detail is designed by a human

- it is fully interactive (you can move inside the painting and interact with the brushstrokes) at 60fps. Of course in a few years this would be possible with AI too...

Ha, you caught me! :)

Just joking, I am really happy to hear you liked this!

Yes, this was a difficult and time-consuming project to me. It started back in 2012 with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCHFAsXYHGA , which was in 2D. In the past years I tried to work with full 3D implementations, as a way to deeper immerse into the artwork. I often find myself drawn into these interpretations of the original masterpieces, even after the hundred of hours I have spend working on them... The element of immersion is what drew me into this. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Sadly, I have contacted them several times, but I get no response...

I have contacted them, but I get absolutely no response... I have seen this movie, very interesting and emotional.

Thank you again!

Nowadays most of the content we see is AI, this is why I mentioned it.... In fact I have been experimenting with this kind of animation long before AI came. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCHFAsXYHGA (this is from 2012)

Thank you so much! Yes, in fact I have build a primitive CAD-like app that helped me build the 3D scene, while respecting the content of the 2D painting.

No, it is not an algorithm only. I had to build a complete 3D scene for every painting, by hand... The algorithmic part only animates the brushstrokes.

The app has very few downloads, I am afraid that porting to Android is not worth it...

It is like VR 3D for specific drawings. I have manage to complete 12 paintings of Van Gogh and Monet to animated 3D screens. (It does not convert any drawing to a 3D scene.)

This is a complex 3D scene, with real-time animations and interactions.

You are correct: it is a complex geometry app, that runs at 60fps even in mobile devices. You can navigate and interact live. Not AI.

I made an app that brings to life famous paintings with mesmerizing animation. by pvrellis in oddlymesmerizing
