About

Graphite is a free, open source alpha-stage vector and raster graphics editor that delivers a fully nondestructive editing workflow by combining layer-based compositing with a node-based procedural design engine. Starting life as a vector editor, Graphite has evolved into an all-in-one graphics toolbox built more like a game engine than a traditional creative app, wrapping its Rust-powered Graphene core in user-friendly tools for vector art, raster image editing, animation, page layout, motion graphics, and VFX compositing. Its hybrid editing paradigm uses a permanent node graph under the hood, enabling infinite scalability of effects such as boolean operations, procedural polka-dot patterns, and Mandelbrot fractals, while presenting artists with intuitive layer stacks and node-based layers. Available today as a lightweight offline web app, Graphite supports non-destructive workflows for magazine spreads, technical illustrations, and generative designs.

About

Houdini is built from the ground up to be a procedural system that empowers artists to work freely, create multiple iterations and rapidly share workflows with colleagues. In Houdini, every action is stored in a node. These nodes are then “wired” into networks which define a “recipe” that can be tweaked to refine the outcome then repeated to create similar yet unique results. The ability for nodes to be saved and to pass information, in the form of attributes, down the chain is what gives Houdini its procedural nature. While the nodes are what makes Houdini unique and give it power, there are lots of viewport and shelf tools that allow for artist-friendly viewport interactions. Behind the scenes, Houdini builds up the nodes and networks for you. Houdini lets artists explore different creative paths because it is easy to branch off a new node to explore alternative solutions.
