- unixhero 3y agoAnd Krita!!!
- mcdonje 3y agoI haven't heard of Graphite. But yeah, Inkscape, Gimp, Dark Table, Blender, etc. World class programs. There's no need for this.
- throw_m239339 3y agoI mean, all that money could be put to better use and fund Gimp or Inkscape for instance, instead of that vaporware. But I guess people are more willing to give money to these Kickstarter marketing pitch.
- constantcrying 3y ago"Let's invest money to continue enhancing existing solutions, which are free and open for all" sounds just so much less exciting than "we are going to end Adobe with $235k from our backers".
- mcdonje 3y agoMaybe the $235k should be spent on paying Stuart Semple to market the existing solutions.
- itronitron 3y agoAs someone that has used three of those applications, and actively uses two of them I think simply having documented workflows for how to produce certain industry standard outputs from the programs would be of great benefit. If the kickstarter campaign just produces some utilities to support that I think it would benefit a lot of artists.
- mcdonje 3y agoThis is a good point. Anything to lower the barrier to entry, and UI is the biggest complaint I keep hearing. I don't get many of the UI complaints because I have always used Inkscape, so I have the same problem but in reverse. So, I get it.
