Simulating traditional art materials with Claude V2

A developer has significantly advanced their simulation of traditional art materials, expanding from oil paint to include watercolor, gold leaf, pastel, crayon, and pencil, with a focus on finer rendering. They utilized Claude to experiment with shaders, achieving substantial memory savings and speed improvements, enabling the application to run efficiently even on an iPhone SE (3rd gen). Future plans involve exploring less-researched materials like ink and etching, and they are open to community suggestions for further reproductions.

Unlike other paint apps, this developer focused on finer rendering for pencil and achieved efficient performance on an iPhone SE (3rd gen) by using Claude for shader experimentation.
