TOKI WOKI. 

I finally got a fff­found invite! If you don’t know this image book­mark­ing site, go and have a look, it’s wonderful!

I was brows­ing it, lis­ten­ing to Pauline Croze’s “Quand je suis ivre” song and stum­bled upon this image.

So I did that:

I think it could be a nice CD cover.

Another script, a tool.

Qut­ter lets you cut any­thing on the stage with­out destroy­ing it. Shapes, texts, images, groups and so on… Here’s a video demo:

Grab the source, or go to its Scriptographer’s page!

I ini­tially did it to be able to cut images. You can’t do it in Illus­tra­tor, or I missed something.

ps: Nam­ing all my script with a Q at the begin­ning is prob­a­bly not a good idea. I think this is going to be bor­ing soon…

So here’s the sec­ond script I was talk­ing about this week end!

I also made a video demo to show how it works:

The source is hosted here and on Sg’s site.

Please share feed­back and ideas!

I’ve just been intro­duced to Scrip­tog­ra­pher, this Illus­tra­tor plu­gin allows you to script actions (in JavaScript) in order to auto­mate things, to raster bitmaps, to cre­ate tools or more.

Being a big Illus­tra­tor fan and know­ing JavaScript quite well I’ve started play­ing with it a bit. It can be a lit­tle tricky when you’re look­ing for doc­u­men­ta­tion or when you’re used to work­ing with a flipped y-axis like in Action­Script but you can achieve nice things with only a few lines of code.

The first script I wrote is called Qink and is some sort of china ink paint­brush. It doesn’t work very well yet so I won’t post it now. Drop a com­ment if you want to try it.

The sec­ond thing I wrote has no name yet but works pretty well. It is not buggy at all but I need to rethink the script a lit­tle before post­ing it. Here’s an exam­ple of what you can do with it:

The con­cept is sim­ple: use any image’s pix­els as your color swatch. Either for live paint­ing, or to apply on a path. Expect nice or funny results! Again, drop a com­ment if you can’t wait.

The third thing is called Qat­tern. This one allows you to quickly and eas­ily build a pat­tern… It’s kind of sim­ple, but a video might explain this better:

I did it to go with my blog theme’s new abil­ity to han­dle back­ground patterns… It’s work­ing alright so here is the source code! Play with it, break it and send feed­back… I’m sure things can be improved, if you’ve got sug­ges­tions, share them!

As you prob­a­bly read before I recently moved. Actu­ally I moved to a really big­ger place, so I now have enough room for a desk. Here’s what it looks like:

Pho­tomerge in Pho­to­shop is a bit shitty, sorry about that.

Here are some of the cities I’ve vis­ited this sum­mer, remas­tered a bit.

Inspired by some­thing I saw on the Inter­net once ; can’t remem­ber where, sorry.
