It's been two months since Expresii went public beta. A summary of what happened:
With today 's (2015-12-22) app update, we simplified the registration process so that you no longer need to wait for the Registration Code to come via email . ─=≡Σ((( つ ◕o◕ )つ We're glad to find some first-time users being able to pick up Expresii so well like JaneMere (Zootopia's Judy, Monk), 子清(1, 2) , 纪保超 and Livy Jean do. ʕつ ͡◔ ᴥ ͡◔ʔつ 最近痴迷expresii这款水墨软件,它能模拟出几可乱真的水墨晕痕 - 纪保超 ずっと欲しいとおもってた感じのソフトがでてしまった…難しいけどこれ使いこなせればすごく楽しいやつだ…!- 子清 Mastering Expresii is not easy, but if you do get the hang of it, you can get great results, like these pieces by Painter and Modeler Shuen Leung: ʕु•ᴥ•ʔु EXPRESSI給我這個電繪恐慌的手繪派開闢了一條道路 - Shuen Leung Close-ups for you to appreciate the organic quality: Check out more works from Shuen Leung at her blog (in Chinese). Notice Shuen used a custom 'watercolor' paper texture in some of her works done in Expresii. You can also specify your own pan colors like she does on the right. Custom Paper Texture and Pan Set are available in Advanced User mode. For more user-made artworks, see this Pinterest bookmark collection. ʕु•ᴥ•ʔु ✧ UPDATE 2016/08/03: Expresii is now Officially Released!Old post below. The Future is No w (2015-10-21) ! Download a public testing version of Expresii Full and try it yourself now: We're gearing up to release Expresii within 2015 - ten years after MoXi was first unveiled at SIGGRAPH 2005. It's been a long wait and thanks for those who support us along the way! The following is a bundle of video demos just to quickly show you what Expresii can do: I was flattered when I was walking down the hallway at Headquarters, an Adobe employee came up to me and eagerly said "I know nowadays computer can do a lot of things, but your MoXi still amazes me!" - Nelson Chu Ten years ago, we showed the world how the future of digital ink painting program would be like. It's such a long journey and every step is just the beginning. It took a lot of energy to make a software product like Expresii. You can help by giving us feedback after playing around with the beta. Thank you!
We dream about the future and make things happen. Let's create our own future together! 哥做的不是軟件,是理念。認同請分享。 (•̀o•́)ง Our Dr. Nelson Chu was invited by the Macao Professional Development Association to speak on new development on digital ink painting and calligraphy as well as his own experience in working in the United States.

當然,要做到連平台系統也支持要投入大量資源。當然,要做到連平台系統也支持要投入大量資源。人力方面亞洲當然沒問題,技術方面我覺得也是可以解決。日後有機會可真的要寫個建議書。 We thank the organizer of TypeMeet 字體聚 ‘本地薑’ , a seminar for topics on font and character designs, for letting us show our work there. It's encouraging that so many attended the public talks.
The talks focused on design topics happening locally. One problem we face today is that the current design tools mostly cater for Western ways of doing things. We need more tools like Expresii so that we can more efficiently create digital works that inherits our own culture. 日前我們參加了字體聚 ‘本地薑’ 研討會。會中講者提及:為什麼西方typeface 跟手寫字很接近,但中文的typeface 跟我們手寫的是那麼的不同?那是因為我們都用了西方的一套來做中文(第一套中文印刷體是西方人造的)。 目前中文字形的建立比歐文艱鉅得多,因為太多字,而且用西方的一套outline font 形式表達中文書法字體往往不適合。我們是不是要檢討一下,有沒有其他方式去表達中文?加入像Expresii 般的font rendering system 可能是一條出路。 It was great meeting old and new friends at SIGGRAPH Asia 2013! Thanks for coming!A big thank goes to Mark Lam and Jack Lee for organizing, setting up the booth and inviting us to be there, and helpers from IVE for staffing the booth. And of course, credit goes to William Wong and Tiffany Yu for preparing for the original SIGGRAPH Asia submission, and Shuen Leung for her sample paintings. You guys rock! 這次 SIGGRAPH Asia 是很累但很值得參與。感謝所有來看我們的新舊朋友!感謝落力搞好 CGVisual 攤檔的 Mark Lam 與 Jack Lee,感謝來幫忙的IVE學生,感謝 William Wong 與 Tiffany Yu 的製作與幫忙,沒有您們事情不會那麼好。還有Shuen Leung 的示範畫作,大家都很喜歡啊! 感恩。 After seeing the demo, I hope you're convinced that we are entering a new era of digital painting. 看了示範,希望您也會覺得,我們正進入電腦繪畫的新時代。 If you just arrived at our site, check out our beautiful demo video posted earlier:
