Reading through the nodes of the many examples posted in the Discord art showcase channel is your best bet for learning. Toy with the settings, rewire them, copy interesting sections from one file to another, and ask for help in the Discord if you get stuck.

Multiply nodes fed by the Animation Time and Cosine nodes.

As with all the daily posts, you can play with this yourself and tweak the node graph to make it even cooler. Download the file from the Graphite Discord (see graphite.rs for the invite link).

It's that time again... for more #procedural #mathart! Graphite combines a standard vector graphics editor with #creativecoding and #motiondesign. #MadeWithGraphite

Fiddle with a few vector #geometrynodes and you've got yourself some interactive #mathart.

As with all these #generativeart posts, the file is posted in the Graphite Discord (link on website) so you can play with this yourself. #MadeWithGraphite

Not to rain on your parade 🌧️, but your 2D graphics editing application isn't truly nondestructive if you can't *draw* clouds in it. You might say Graphite is a dark cloud on the horizon for legacy design apps...

Damn. @graphiteeditor.bsky.social has to be among the coolest graphics apps out there, and still in alpha.

Innovative, slick, and open source. 🫶

It's tiling time! (You get it? Tilings + time = animated tilings.)

It's node-based #creativecoding / #proceduralart / #generativeart / #motiongraphics all in one #opensource creative tool.

This is a use case we have in mind for the future.

Graphite @graphiteeditor.bsky.social · Jul 6

The present focus is on getting good at the current unique feature competency, vector and motion, before moving on to raster image manipulation in the coming year. Infrastructure is currently being built for it, like GPU support.

Tick tick, this clock keeps time while you edit its geometry! Yep, that's *live* #motiondesign, with the help of the #procedural animation nodes. #MadeInGraphite
