RainyNite studio

RainyNite is a free/libre software vector animation tool, currently in early development.

It is not really usable by end users at the moment, but developers are highly welcome.

Usage examples

• couple of animations in an ld38 entry (namely sunrise around 10s of intro and animated logo here)
• see https://notabug.org/caryoscelus/rainynite-examples for sample files

Build instructions

These instructions assume unix-like environment.

(currently all instructions for all modules are described here; eventually, it will be split between repos and there will be one central repo with build script(s))

The build process itself is usual CMake procedure, but there are quite a few dependencies and code is split across repositories.

Modules:

• vector morphing lib
• core library
• command line tool (not really worth using atm)
• gui editor

Dependencies

Core:

• lib2geom (yes, you need my fork at the moment; also you need to build & install dynamic library)
• boost
• fmt
• catch (bundled in repository)
• rapidjson (bundled as git module)

Editor:

• qt

Runtime renderer dependency:

• Inkscape - used to render SVG output of RainyNite "renderer"; can be replaced with other command line SVG renderer

Build process

• rainy-morph (nothing special: just cmake build & install)
• core library (git submodule update --init, then normal build & install)
• tool (regular cmake build; can be used directly from build directory or installed)
• studio (same as tool)
