“方寸之间,可见天地。” 篆刻艺术,是结合书法和镌刻来制作印章的艺术,也是汉字特有的艺术形式。篆刻兴起于先秦,盛于汉,衰于晋,败于唐、宋,复兴于明,中兴于清。迄今已有三千七百多年的历史。它蕴含着深厚的文化内涵和艺术价值,但由于其学习门槛较高,学习途径较少,大部分人很难有机会接触体验。 SEAL CREATE 就始于这样的一个契机,它是一款传承发扬印章文化的应用程序,致力于通过科技的手段把晦涩的篆刻元素和知识展现得更加直观和富有趣味性。 在 SEAL CREATE 中: - 一键生成:在一键生成印章部分,SEAL CREATE 能够根据用户输入的文字与选择的印章风格一键生成印章,并提供友好的参数化系统供用户再次创作; - 开始创作:开始创作功能可以让你虚拟体验篆刻的过程,带你感受经历一枚印章的诞生。 SEAL CREATE 提供多种交互方式模拟篆刻用笔、用刀的效果,来帮助人们学习印章知识、传承印章文化、体验印章创作的乐趣。除此之外,我们支持 3D 打印、机械雕刻实物,让每个人都有机会拥有自己制作设计的印章。 我们希望,大家通过 SEAL CREATE 可以喜欢上篆刻文化并体验到创造的乐趣。 感谢大家的支持,如有任何问题或建议,欢迎在评论区留下您的意见。
