Hexels – a new art tool
- th0br0 12y agoThat is one dangerously chosen company name... seeing the banner at the top I was immediately reminded of Hex-Ray's IDA and was wondering what kind of art they'd be creating from assembly now...

- trevordev 12y agoWhere's the linux download?
- mwfunk 12y agoThere isn't one? Or did you realize this and that was your passive-aggressive way of complaining about the lack of Linux support? If so, it's much more constructive to make a case for why somebody should do something, instead of trying to shame them for not doing something that you think it's obvious they should've done.
- bottled_poe 12y agoYou sound like you are advocating some kind of value-based judgement on effort... Heretic!
- voltagex_ 12y agoMight be worth trying it in Wine.
- bandanabanana 12y agoThe free version worked without any problems in wine for me.
- voltagex_ 12y agoWhich Wine verson? 1.6.2 crashed for me.
- bandanabanana 12y agowine-1.6.1 in a 64 bit wineprefix worked for me. I haven't tried other configurations though, they might work as well. I also haven't tried a clean prefix, it might be something I have installed in my default one that makes it work. If it's important to you let me know and I'll see if I can help out.
- prawn 12y agoTry: "Is there a Linux version available? If not, I'd like to register my interest. Thanks."
- iM8t 12y agoSeeing that I spend most of my day staring at pixels (squares), I always find this hexagonal art remarkably amazing. I know that back in the day using squares was the easiest way how to represent images on the screen, but could the exact same thing be done with hexagons nowadays?
- ertdfgcb 12y agoDo you mean making a screen with hexagonal pixels? That would be really cool, and I think it would just be a matter of changing the shape of the electrodes and crystals (for an LCD).
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoIndexing with hex pixels gets... fun. You can represent it as row / columns with every second row or column offset, but then straight vertical / horizontal lines turn jagged.
- zem 12y agohere's a really good collection of hex grid links: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#hex http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#hex
- colanderman 12y agoEven moreso, image operations get more fun. Most image filters (and other transforms) assume a regular square grid because the math works out really well (axes are orthogonal and same scale). Any deviations from these assumptions make the math more convoluted. (Pun intended.)
- spyder 12y agoA search for "hexagonal pixel" has lot of relevant and interesting results: https://www.google.hu/search?q=hexagonal+pixel https://www.google.hu/search?q=hexagonal+pixel
- oidar 12y agoSome of these examples look very much like Tycho (ISO 50) stuff.
- bluehex 12y agoSee http://madeinhexels.tumblr.com http://madeinhexels.tumblr.com for some examples.
- catshirt 12y agowhy isn't this on the homepage... hell, this is a better homepage all together.
- tedunangst 12y agoUh... What is it? There's no information and it's not even clear what I should click on. Neither a dmg or exe are of much help on my phone, and tapping the top banner just makes safari tell me "can't install profile".
- egypturnash 12y agoIt's a paint program that lets you draw on non-square grids. http://hexraystudios.com/hexels/ http://hexraystudios.com/hexels/
- btbuildem 12y agoThis looks like it's well suited for isometric drawings. Is that the intent?

- prezjordan 12y agoAwesome. Isometric art is so simple yet so neat. These days, I use my tool Isomer (http://jdan.github.io/isomer/ http://jdan.github.io/isomer/) to draw, but I'll be giving this a shot for sure!
- posnet 12y agoWas anyone else confused by http://www.hexraystudios.com/ http://www.hexraystudios.com/ vs http://www.hex-rays.com/ http://www.hex-rays.com/
