Graphite 2D graphics editor

Keyframe animation and vector editing intuitive UI enhancements

Graphite is a graphics editor for creative professionals that brings a uniquely modern, yet traditional-feeling, 2D design workflow to artists across all desktop platforms. It is a digital content creation application built to integrate nondestructive layer-based vector graphics editing with node-driven procedural design and animation. Its future vision also aims to encompass fully-fledged publishing, painting, and raster (image/photo) editing toolsets as part of a comprehensive, all-in-one graphics suite. The software is built with generality in mind, structured as a programmatic graphics engine capable of rendering any form of 2D visuals representable as data. The engine's GUI editor exposes familiar, artist-friendly, industry-standard visual design tools that translate edits into artwork by interactively constructing a node graph that procedurally generates the authored content. The node-based visual programming language unifies algorithms with art, data with design, and coding with creativity.
