Ideas and mentors

[Francisco Fernandes]

Hello everyone!

I've had this idea for a sand painting brush last year but I didn't know
how to
develop the idea.  The brush would add "sand" in the canvas like this
site<http://thisissand.com/> does
but instead
of drop in the base of the screen, it would throw it in the 2D plane of the
canvas where the
mouse is and then the user would spread the sand through the plane
like this<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIOsIbqpR5s>
 sand
painting video, but mixing the colors in the channels in a fuzzy way.

I had ask some tips from one of my teachers here in my university, which
worked in a sand
shading using GLSL. He told me that I would work with particles in the
canvas.
I'm still waiting for some material of his to get more deep in the theory
needed to do it,
although I couldn't find any in the internet.

I wanted to contribute for a long time and I really think this would
be a nice feature to Krita, although I don't know how to do it yet. I'm
eager to
do the job and I'm searching some papers about this type of effect.

Anyway, do you guys like the idea? It's worth a GSoC project?

Att.
