Next-Gen Graphic Design and 2D Animation
VGC is an upcoming suite of applications for graphic design and 2D animation, in which the lines and shapes you draw are connected to each others both in space and time, allowing for faster editing and inbetweening.

This project is still in very early development (pre-alpha) and doesn't yet have any of the innovative features which make VGC unique. If you are curious, you can try our earlier research prototype VPaint.
Prerequisites: - CMake 3.1+: We recommend the latest version of CMake. - C++11: We recommend Visual Studio 2017 on Windows, and any recent version of Clang/GCC on macOS/Linux. - Python 3.6+: We recommend the latest Python 3.7.x version via the official installer. - Qt 5.12+: We recommend the latest Qt 5.12.x version via the official installer. - FreeType: We recommend the latest FreeType 2.x. - HarfBuzz: We recommend the latest HarfBuzz 2.x. - OpenGL Dev Tools: Already installed on Windows, macOS, and many Linux distributions. On Ubuntu, you need
sudo apt install libglu1-mesa-dev.
VGC also depends on the following libraries, but these are already included in the
thirdfolder, so there is no need to pre-install them: - Eigen - {fmt} - Google Test - pybind11
VGC follows the VFX Reference Platform recommendations for library versions.
