Method for displaying granular medium tool on virtual drawing canvas

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001656B2) discloses a method for a graphics application executed on a computing device to establish spatial distributions of a granular medium on a virtual drawing canvas within a graphical user interface. The method involves setting properties of the granular medium, determining spatial distributions based on factors like friction and adhesion, and applying tools to modify the medium. The patent details various settings related to friction, tool properties, and subsequent applications of tools to create modified spatial distributions, resulting in the generation of images based on the interactions with the granular medium.
Furthermore, the patent describes the use of specific mappings, color maps, and intensity maps to indicate changes made to the virtual drawing canvas, allowing users to visualize different types of granular mediums, wet versus dry areas, and dense versus loose areas. Additionally, the method includes rendering topographical maps to represent the three-dimensional distribution of the granular medium on the canvas. Users can switch between realistic views and functional views displaying specific mappings or topographical maps, providing a versatile and interactive experience within the graphics application. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for manipulating granular mediums on virtual canvases, offering a unique and innovative approach to digital drawing and design.
