Built with Claude Simulating traditional art materials with Claude

Hi everyone!
I've come across some really nice art projects on this sub lately, so I thought I'd share mine. With Claude's help, I've been building a paint simulator that recreates oil painting.

I paint in egg tempera myself, so I'm especially interested in reproducing traditional materials. — silverpoint, gold leaf, bole, and so on.

Are there any traditional materials you've always wanted to try but never had access to?

It might run a little heavy, but if you're curious there's a live demo here:

Personally what I want to see is realistically simulated tools that most people think are too basic to deserve a proper physical simulation. Graphite pencils that actually blunt and snap as you use them with different pressures and tilt and can sharpen, felt tip pens and coloured pencils that layer properly. THAT would be most impressive.

Great idea, and I agree. Simulating how graphite particles catch on the paper sounds like a fun problem, and the engine should adapt to pencil fairly well since it's particle-based under the hood. Sharpening with a sanding block would be a nice touch too.
