Feature Request: another new curve drawing tool
Another interesting new curve drawing tool - Ananya as a standalone program and as PS plug-in.
http://www.ananya.com/index.html
Ananya curves, without Bezier handles, and also has other curve models, e.g. conic curves.
some demo videos

This tool is only for producing the curves. No other drawing functions, but also some very nice ideas for very precise drawing and complex curve patterns.
Vector drawing is going to get easier. ;-)
Re: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
looks interesting, especially as a CS3 plugin, thanks
when I get some free time. I'll give it a try..
Re: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Very interesting approach to creating curves.
Lutz I moved your thread to the Off Topic forum because it does not directly relate to Xara Xtreme.

OK, I forgot to put in the magic words "feature request"???
It seems to relate to Xara in exactly the same way as the SPIRO curves.

Vector tools are developing nicely, albeit outside of the traditional vector drawing applications (e.g Xara, CorelDraw,...).
Re: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Fair enough Lutz. I'll change the thread title so it reflects a feature request and move it back into the Xtreme forum.
Re: Feature Request: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Don't think it should be here Bill as the way Xara handles curves is hugely better than AI or PS. In my opinion it should be placed in PS topic thread board. What is easier than with the Shape Editor to push a line around or to select two points and press Z to get sharp corners. In AI there are known plugins that do this and are as expensive as this plugin for PS what speed increase would there be in Xara with this feature in place?
Re: Feature Request: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Yes,
It's easyer with xara handles;
use grid/guides,also with ctrl + angle constraints.
use "s"key and "z' key for smooth/sharp corners
you have so much more control of your lines.

I absolutely agree, Xara curve drawing management is fairly good.
Re: Feature Request: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Perhaps the Graphics Chat forum would be a better home for this topic. Along with the Diffusion Curves thread.
Re: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya
Then move the Spiro thread here too.
