I'm curious how this relates to Skia (the library that handles cross-platform rendering for Chrome and Flutter). Seems like this could be an alternative backend but also could serve as faster replacement?
- cercatrova 4y agoFlutter is moving to using Impeller, which is the faster replacement you're talking about: https://github.com/flutter/engine/tree/main/impeller https://github.com/flutter/engine/tree/main/impeller
- dragostis 4y agoforma is geared towards vector-graphics heavy use cases. A very good example would be Lottie or Rive animations or games that make use of vector graphics. Another possible use case would be places where you need a very small software renderer, like an OS's early boot.
- adamrezich 4y agoabout a decade ago I wanted to get started prototyping gameplay with vector graphics and I was dismayed at the state of available libraries to do this efficiently. I'm glad things seem to be getting much better in this space!
- naasking 4y agoHow about 3D modeling programs, like FreeCAD? That's currently single threaded and doesn't use hardware acceleration so it could use the boost for sure.
