Vint

Read full description

Vint turns a simple idea into something mesmerizing - draw on a spinning wheel and watch symmetry, color, and motion do the rest. Spin the canvas with a flick, pick up a brush, and start drawing. The wheel keeps turning as you go, bending every stroke into spirals, mandalas, and patterns you never planned but can't stop staring at. WHAT YOU CAN CREATE - Mandalas and radial art with adjustable symmetry - Phenakistoscopes - animation discs that bring drawings to life when spun - Optical illusions and moiré patterns - Freeform spin art - just draw and see what happens FEATURES - 5 brush types - round, flat, spray, pattern, and eraser - Stamp tool with 9 shapes, adjustable size, wiggle, and fill - Symmetry engine with mirror mode and up to 36 segments - Animation mode - step through frames like a zoetrope - Pinch to zoom for detail work - Full undo/redo and export - 9 included templates to explore and remix TEMPLATES Open any template, spin it, draw on it, and save your version as a new project. The originals are always there to start fresh.

Verdict

The call
