Michael Iannacone, President Precise Renovation Corp.
I am extremely content with the all aspects of dealing with Oleg and the staff of Media Plexis. When we first contacted them, we were unsure of exactly what we wanted. They were patient and showed us very professional courtesy toward producing a finished product that we are proud of. On-going changes and the addition of an attached database has made record keeping and tracking of important client contact information simple and efficient. I recommend Media Plexis to everyone I come in contact with seeking web development.
A team of Media Plexus designers and programmers, as well s consulting artists and scientists developed the Artography software designed to transform photographs into images with a unique “painted” look. Unlike most applications, Artography doesn’t distort the source image. It uses a low resolution source only as a reference to create a new high resolution “painted” image. We created, developed and implemented:
Two versions of software was developed: Artography At Home (for consumer use), and Artography PRO (advanced version for use at Artography facilities)
Mathematical models (provided by the NYU) as C# optimized code
Application architecture with optimized mathematical models
Advanced triangulation and blurring algorithm
Multiple painting stiles
Basic image editor to facilitate image resizing, cropping, rotation, color balance and gamma adjustments to the whole image or selected areas
Personal signature creation and insertion mechanism
Rendering speed optimization, by implementing unsafe C# code technology
Active help hints
Simple, user-friendly application GUI, developed for users with little computer experience
Visual attractive real time painting process
Mechanism of uploading user's images in a proprietary format for exact reproduction of user applied stiles and printing large format picture at Artography Direct facility.
Online software registration and upgrade/update
We also fully designed and developed www.artographydirect.com , a corporate website, created to provide information about Artography technology, Investor information etc..
Also, the site facilitates taking orders for production of 20” x 30” framed prints, based on user’s images (mailed or uploaded), rendered with Artography PRO. Site features:
