G'MIC

G'MIC minor update ▶️ v.3.6.3 ◀️ has just been released!
It fixes a few bugs and improve the G'MIC standard library (mainly the "nn_lib" module, for neural network training).

We have a small update today, with new version ▶️ 3.6.2 ◀️ that has just been released!
Fall freshness is the best excuse to play with every G’MIC filter! 😋 🍂

Now we are talking! 🧊 🤩 👍

I had a lot of fun last night programming a 3D tunnel effect in G'MIC. What do you think?
▶️ Source code: pastebin.com/Buf7uhqQ (35 lines of code 😋 ).

And the logical next step, of course, is the implementation of the ‘object3d_normal’, which renders the object's normalmap!
Done! 😋

I just added the ▶️ object3d_depth◀️ command to the G'MIC standard library. It allows to draw a 3D object in an image, in the form of a depth map. It can always come in handy!

G'MIC 3.6 : The Art of Polishing Your Images ! A full-featured open-source framework for processing generic image (2D,3D,3D+t) with multiple interfaces: command-line (cli), gimp plug-in, web service, Qt plug-in, C++ library

📝 Curious about what’s new in G’MIC 3.6?
I’ve written a (long) summary article highlighting the most interesting changes and improvements since last year 🤩

French magazine ▶️ Compétence Photo ◀️ (Sept/Oct. 2025) apparently contains a short article about the G'MIC plug-in in its section “Practical • The best free plug-ins for Photoshop.”
Always nice to get a visible mention in a magazine, to reach people who may not be familiar with free software! 👍

Pleased to announce the release of an important new G'MIC version, numbered ▶️ 3.6.0◀️ , just in time for the start of the school year! 🎒 🏫

Mon patronyme:

C'est Fertigineux !

Got a special surprise for my birthday: a watercolor painting of "Gmicky", the G'MIC mascot.
It's so cute 😍 🐯 🎩
Thanks so much C. !

Un Atari 520 STE avec un écran cathodique, et une bonne connaissance de l'assembleur 68000. C'était chouette...

Whereas just a white atmosphere is less interesting :)

A small variation that I like even more :)

#creativecoding mood this morning, with this simple little 3D animation written as a G'MIC script of less than 20 lines 😍 Only 16 frames.

I love so much this black and white atmosphere !

Did you know that G'MIC defines its own programming language that lets you write custom scripts? 👨‍💻 👩‍💻
It definitely has potential for #creativecoding and #generativeart !
Check out some examples of animations and the associated scripts on our webpage 🤩 :

▶️ bit.ly/41bTLOS

Algorithms for making interesting organic simulations Article explaining simulation algorithms that produce complex organic behaviours, starting with the classic physarum algorithm from Jeff Jones.

Of course, my latest experiments were 100% inspired by the nice tutorial page written recently by @bleuje.com :
bleuje.com/physarum-exp...

Check out his page, it's incredible!
And thanks for the inspiration! 🥰

Here's a higher resolution rendering of my 3D extension to the Physarum algorithm.
All done with G'MIC (what else ? 😉), using a 400^3 volume. Took quite a long time to render, but I like the result!

#creativecoding #generativeart #scriptfun

Well, my curiosity is satisfied: we can extend the Physarum algorithm into 3D, with a little effort and a few visualization tricks!
Honestly, doesn't that make you want to eat some good French fries? 😅 🇫🇷

#creativecoding #generativeart #3d

Starting the morning by doing a bit of coding for work, and realizing it has potential for generative art. Always a nice feeling! And another gif anim that loops perfectly 🤩

So here's a new filter for our G'MIC-Qt plug-in, called ▶️ Patterns / Organic Fibers ◀️ .
The result of my experiments today. Available for testing, only for users of G'MIC-Qt version 3.6.0_pre (not available for the current stable version 3.5.5).
See you soon, for new graphic experiences 😍

Today is the French national holiday 🇫🇷 🥐 🥖 . What better way to experiment with new G'MIC scripts? Here's how it's going so far!

Over the last days, I've tried to improve G'MIC's internal 3D engine, by implementing z-clipping for primitives partly behind the camera. As always, when you want to add a small feature like this, you end up improving the whole 3D engine code! Took longer than expected, but it's all there now! 🤩

Oui j'espère vivement y aller à la prochaine édition. En tout cas, c'est le projet :).
Profite bien et au plaisir de se recroiser là bas ou ailleurs !

Cher Laurent. C'est définitif. Je n'irai finalement pas à GRETSI à Strasbourg cette année :(. C'est la semaine juste avant la rentrée scolaire, et je vais donc plutôt me concentrer sur cette étape décisive pour ma fille. Je ne perds pas espoir de re-participer au GRETSI dans les prochaines années !
