Ollin

Output

  • Export - save frames as raster (PNG, sequences), motion (video, animated GIF), or vector (SVG for pen plotters, PDF for print)
  • Web page - --export-web records what a sketch draws and writes a page that plays it back in a browser. The page is one self-contained file, or a fragment for a page of your own
  • Path-traced export - --path-traced renders the same 3D scene offline by tracing light paths. That gives you soft shadows, color bleed, mirror-in-mirror reflections, and a lens with depth of field
  • Recording - record a live run while you play it. The picture and the sketch's own sound (or the room's) are written into one movie in real time
  • Installation - leave a sketch running for days. It runs full screen with no pointer, and its clock survives a week. A watch starts it again if it stops, and it can run only during the building's hours
  • A sketch as an app - wrap a finished sketch as a signed, double-clickable Mac app with its own icon. The app runs on a machine that has never had the toolchain installed
  • Screen saver - wrap a sketch as the machine's screen saver, so the work runs when nobody is at the desk
  • Wallpaper - run a sketch as the desktop wallpaper. It sits behind the icons on every display and moves all day while the machine is used for everything else
  • Menu bar - run a sketch as a small live strip among the menu bar's status items. It sits beside the clock for the whole working day
  • Widget - show a sketch as a widget on the desktop. The system asks for a handful of pictures an hour, so the sketch changes through the day rather than moving
  • Fabrication - write a Mesh as STL, OBJ, or 3MF for 3D printing, with real units and a printability check
  • G-code - write a frame's line work as a program that a pen plotter, laser cutter, or CNC router runs directly. Ollin orders the paths to keep travel short
  • Embroidery - write a frame as the stitches an embroidery machine sews: a .dst file, with strokes as running stitch, fills as rows, and each color as its own thread in draw order
  • Print separations - split a sketch into per-ink grayscale masters for risograph and screen printing, with an overprint preview and registration marks
  • Print color - soft-proof a canvas against a press profile and flag the colors that ink cannot reach. It also splits the canvas into process-color plates, with their total-ink figures
  • Spatial - write a 3D frame or a Scene as USDZ. You can open the work in that format in Quick Look, send it in a message, and place it on a real table in AR
