Bixelangelo [commercial]

[Tami]

Bixelangelo is a paint program that records your drawings and saves them as sketch maps. It has been designed for use with BluffTitler DX9, but any application that can handle texture maps and DirectX effect files can use its output.

Create sketch maps with Bixelangelo

A sketch map is a texture map that does not contain colour, but time information: every pixel contains the time it has been touched. This makes a sketch map a recording of a handwritten text or drawing.
Amazing compression

With a 24 bits picture and a time resolution of 50 frames per second it's theoretically possible to store an animation with a duration of 4 days into a single bitmap. The limitations are that your can't use different colours and that you can't erase anything.
Supporting standards

Your drawings are saved as standard .PNG bitmaps and DirectX .FX effect files. This means that they can be used in any application that supports texture maps and DirectX effect files.

Animated handwritten texts

Record your handwritten texts with Bixelangelo and animate them inside BluffTitler. Your recorded text can be played back at any speed.

Splines

No matter how trembling your handwriting or sketches are, Bixelangelo turns them into smooth, perfectly connected curves! And if you don't trust your artistic talents, a picture can be loaded into the background for tracing.

Mixing 3D animation with sketching

With BluffTitler you can mix your animated sketches with 3D animation. This example combines a sketch mapped picture layer with a text layer.

Transparent glow

A nice additive glow can be added to your sketches! The mist has been created with the particle layer.

Create text-on-path effects with Bixelangelo

Your drawing can also be used as a path along which you can scroll a 3D text (or any other object).

Create EPS files with Bixelangelo

Your drawing can also be saved as an EPS file. This EPS file can be imported in any application that supports EPS files.

Supporting standards

Your sketches are saved as standard .PNG bitmaps, .EPS vector drawings and DirectX .FX effect files. This means that they can be used in any application that supports texture maps and DirectX effect files, including BluffTitler DX9 and Bix's Photo Book.
