A Leap Motion painting prototype for Garry's Mod.

A painting prototype for Garry's Mod, inspired by Eastshade. Players can choose any map to explore before picking a spot to paint. Complete paintings are analyzed by ray tracing against the scene and storing the percentage content breakdowns.
Description:
I was inspired by playing the beautiful Eastshade (an open world painting game) but was disappointed to find no painting minigame, so of course I just had to mock one up myself. Players find a vista to paint and then choose which brush effects to use where to complete the painting. These effects are selected via the numpad, which allowed me to build a cardboard artist palette with a wireless numpad core (pictured below).
I was also discussing the popular gamemode Jazztronaunts with a friend, which has players jumping around loads of different maps trying to collect objects, and thought it would be fun to have a similar concept but with painting contracts. So players would receive requests in the hub world (e.g. a vibrant painting of a beach) and have to travel around to find a perfect spot to capture. To this end I worked on analyzing the painting contents by splitting the image into a grid of ray traces and storing the results to form an understanding (an example of an analyzed image is shown in the header above).
