ive been seeing a bunch about figma but im still unsure what it is and what it does well

figma.comWindowkill Assets | FigmaThis is the complete document for all the original assets in the game Windowkill. Check out the game here: Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2726450/Windowkill/ itch․io: torcado.itch.io/windowkill

it's a vector editing application. nowadays it has a bunch of tools for ui dev and css and w/e but i think its vector editing abilities are the most human friendly and feature rich of any ive used. i use it for basically all of my designs, e.g. all windowkill assets: www.figma.com/community/fi...

i see, when looking at their website theyre only showing AI tools so i kinda assumed its just that and dismissed it too soon perhaps

It's good for UI mockups (websites, applications, software, etc) Also, the vector tools are really nice (I made 2d assets with it)

aaah i see, are you using free or paid for that?

more specifically, this is a non-destructive process, so you can continue editing shapes after warping. there are several other warping plugins for figma, but they all either render to a 3d texture (destructive, creates bitmap artifacts) or aren't actually perspective warps

Woa this is so convenient 👀

i've been trying to figure out the math for 4 point perspective transforms like this for years now... (on and off) the last time I looked into it, I got as far as (finally) learning matrices and dove deep into videos/lessons on linear algebra and perspective projection and homogeneous coordinates

but I still don't know how to do these kinds of arbitrary 4 point transforms, which is the main thing I've been wanting to learn... were there any pages or resources that helped you to understand the math behind it?

math.stackexchange.comHow to compute homography matrix H from corresponding points (2d-2d planar Homography)I went through this thread Mapping Irregular Quadrilateral to a Rectangle If i know the 4 corresponding points in image say p1->p1' p2->p2' p3->p3' p4->p4' then how to compute pi(x,y) from pi'(x...

yep your intuition is correct, matrices and linear algebra! there's a lot of strange terms which makes learning annoying. 8dof/projective transform/homography all point to essentially the same concept. i used the matrix from this answer for my calculation math.stackexchange.com/questions/49...

essentially, i generate a homography matrix from 4 points to 4 other points, and then i can multiply the inverse of this on any external set of 4 points to get to that shape's projection. and because this is projective, points scale closer to the horizon/etc.
