Welcome to the VGC GitHub wiki!

VGC is a project initiated by VGC Software, whose goal is to implement professional graphic design and 2D animation tools based on the "Vector Graphics Complex". Developed by a collaboration of researchers from Inria Grenoble (France) and the University of British Columbia (Canada), this recent technology has the potential to bring radically more powerful yet intuitive tools to digital artists, such as coordinated editing of vector shapes sharing common boundaries, or automatic computation of inbetweens in 2D hand-drawn animation workflows.

Putting it simply, it is a little bit of fresh ideas in a stagnating field!

Note that VGC Software is a sole proprietorship owned by myself, Boris Dalstein. In other words, I develop VGC for a living as my primary source of income, which allows me to focus entirely on this project. This means that VGC Software is indeed a for-profit business (it is not a non-profit organization!), however I am a strong believer in open-source software development, and VGC is being publicly developed under the Apache 2.0 license. But open-source does not mean it costs nothing! Users of official VGC builds will be required to pay a license fee to use the products, in order to support development of new features, and ensures that it meets the highest standards in terms of performance, stability, and user-friendliness, which is unfortunately lacking in many open-source graphics tools.
