@zach-mx You can create a grain effect directly in a HISE paint routine (or laf) by using the g.addNoise function

For other textures you'll need to use images. Either drawing them on panels or using image components.

Amazing. Good to know there's a grain function. The grain + distortion references is really just one example of something he might do. I'm not 100% sure what sort of techniques he is going to utilize. Really just trying to understand how it will all come together so I can give him appropriate direction when the time comes

Appreciate you @d-healey. I have been devouring as many of your videos and using them constantly as I prototype this instrument I'm building. I'm sure I'll have many more questions.

@zach-mx What do you mean by textures?

The graphic artist I work with will probably add some visual grain/distortion to whatever layout he designs to give it a sort of "vintage" feeling - or something to that extent.

Say a panel is a solid color but utilizes an overlay of paper/metal overlay + grain in photoshop, does that get imported as an image and applied as overlay essentially? I have a very elementary understanding of the paint routines/how hise is drawing interfaces, so maybe I just need to dig into some more of those tutorials, but I'm sort of proto-typing as I go

Hi all, I'm new to the HISE world and am currently in the process of proto-typing my first plugin. I've been working my way through the documentation, watching David Healey's videos, and poking around with a super primitive version of the sample library I'd like to build.

I've made a mock-up wire frame in PenPot (self hosted figma) that I'm currently rebuilding in Hise using Paint Routines, but it got me thinking. At some point later in the process, I'd really like to bring in a friend who is a graphic designer to help with the color palette, layout design, and I imagine he will likely do some texture work.

What would the workflow for doing that be? I imagine something like this?

1. Penpot mockup Exported for Photoshop
2. Design work done in photo shop, layers exported out individually.
3. Rebuild layers + vectors in Hise using Paint Routines and Film strips?

I guess what I'm really wondering is do all textures and images need to exist as film strips?

Happy to take some recs on which of Davids Videos may cover this topic too.
