--- title: TROY created: 2026-07-19 10:08 updated: 2026-08-14 14:45 revision: 17 author: Auriea summary: "add ERGASTÍRI, the combined TOMÉ+KOLLA workshop" --- [[ElegantMedia]] The Battle, yes, but also a folder on my harddrive with all my vibe-coded software. Here I will keep track of them all. [[ATAD]] — auriea.org itself: the personal wiki/digital notebook engine (Node + Markdown pages, custom notations like [[thumb:]] and [[model:]])auriea.org itself: a personal wiki and digital notebook running on a small Node engine, with pages written in Markdown and extended by custom notations for embedding thumbnails, 3D models, and calendars. https://wiki.auriea.org [[ATREUS]] — A planning document (not yet a built artwork) for an epic animated relief painting: a long frieze tracing the full curse of the House of Atreus, from Tantalus's crime to the Furies' transformation into the Eumenides. It's meant to be built on top of the relief-painter tool, Metope, with movement so slow it reads as almost stillness. [[DISEGNO]] — iPad sketchbook app. a sketchbook for the iPad: one HTML file, no build, nothing to install. Its media are simulated for behaviour rather than appearance — chalk that depletes as it travels, silverpoint that won't mark without a ground, washes that bleed, granulate and darken as they dry. The book is bound and finite: fifty leaves to work through, cut into, glue onto and tear out entire, with no undo anywhere. https://auriea.art/disegno.html [[EIDOLON]] (εἴδωλον) — is a viewer for Gaussian-splat artworks, in which each piece is a single self-contained file — renderer, artwork, and provenance fused into one object. The phantom double. In the tradition Euripides took up, the Helen who went to Troy was never Helen but an eidolon, an image made of air, while the real woman waited out the war in Egypt. A Gaussian splat is exactly that: a cloud of oriented ghosts that resolves, from the right angle, into a place that exists somewhere else. [[ERGASTIRI]] (εργαστήρι, "the workshop") — One room, two benches: TOMÉ and KOLLA held alive together in a single page, so one home-screen icon carries the whole workshop — instant bench switching, direct image handoff between them, one shared storage. Built because iOS seals separate home-screen apps off from each other. https://auriea.art/ergastiri.html [[FRIEZE]] — A Blender add-on that observes and records sculpting sessions stroke-by-stroke to a JSONL log, paired with a standalone Python visualizer for replaying and studying how a sculpture came together over time. It's a tool for examining process, not for sculpting itself. [[HOMER]] — A folder of Homeric reference material rather than an app: a spreadsheet of Homeric epithets, a large collection of Homeric similes (PDF and EPUB), a Greek alphabet reference page, and an "oracle" tool. Source material for mythologically-grounded work elsewhere in TROY (like ATREUS). [[KINEMA]] (κίνημα, "movement") — A single-file GIF/video maker that turns a sequence of images or live camera capture (stop-motion or continuous) into a film strip, then exports it as GIF, APNG, MP4, or WebM using built-in encoders — including proper transparency support. Camera capture is verified end-to-end but still wants an iPad testing pass. https://auriea.art/kinema.html [[KOLLA]] (κόλλα, "glue" — where *collage* comes from) — The paste-up table beside TOMÉ's cutting bench: freeform collage on a boundless mat — a layer stack with all sixteen blend modes, an optional frame for squaring off (permanent only at flatten), per-piece double-tap crops, a fill/gradient tool, autosave plus .kolla project files. Its AI helpers ride the same fal.ai key: per-piece background cutout, tap-to-lift (SAM segmentation), fuse (re-dream the collage as one image), and expand (outpaint past the edges). Linked both ways with TOMÉ — each bench is one click from the other, and the image rides along. Together they're also [[ERGASTIRI]], one home-screen app. https://auriea.art/kolla.html [[LAPIDEO]] — Procedural marble and wood material generator (marbles.html, woods.html) with a shader-based realism engine — veins, clouds, sparkle, bedding — that feeds material sets into Metope. see also: [[LAPIDEO-Research]] https://auriea.art/lapideo/marbles.html, https://auriea.art/lapideo/woods.html [[METOPE]] — The flagship relief-sculpture painter, built around an "Atelier" GUI: a large set of physical, named brushes (Coil, Chatter, Gnomon, Drill, Stamp, Imprint, and more) that carve a heightmap into clay-like relief. It has dual output — a GLB digital sculpture and a 5-color 3MF file for Prusa multi-material printing — plus a CNC/drill/undercut preview mode for planning real fabrication. It's the project with by far the longest, most active devlog in TROY. https://auriea.art/metope.html [[PINAX]] — A drop-a-folder thumbnail-wall viewer: point it at a folder and it displays images and 3D files side by side, supporting GLB, OBJ, STL, USDZ (via WASM), Gaussian splats, and Blender files. Built for quickly browsing a mixed folder of visual work without opening each file individually. https://auriea.art/pinax/ [[SFORMO]] — A Blender add-on for mold-making: Point Sformo at a mesh and it answers three questions: can this be cast at all, how many mold pieces will it take, and where does the mold split. Then it builds the actual mold blocks — hollowed, split, keyed, vented — as watertight solids you can export and print. https://auriea.art/sformo/SFORMO-user-guide.html [[SPOLIA]] — The collage plane: fragments of scanned sculpture and plain primitives, raymarched as live SDF fields so they can genuinely weld, carve and interpenetrate in real 3D — visible seams, pieces from different bodies recombined without pretending to be one whole, the way spolia are reset into the Arch of Constantine. Nothing commits to a mesh until export (marching cubes, at the very end). No words anywhere in the interface — a Bryce/KPT-style console of physical dials and a shelf of draggable objects instead. https://auriea.art/spolia/ [[THEKE]] — An offline art inventory system that replaces an older spreadsheet ("All the Things"). It manages a database of works and exhibitions, exports to CSV/TSV, generates printable PDFs, builds private showroom pages for sharing pieces, and publishes images and data out to auriea.art. [[THISBE]] — A set of experiments bridging Claude Code directly into Rebelle 8 Pro (professional painting software) via a WebSocket MCP server, so Claude can act as a painting director — composing and sending brushstrokes live. Includes scripts for recording real hand-painted strokes and generating variations on them (jitter, mirror, pressure taper, etc.). Named for the Ovid myth used as a test scene, alongside other mythological scene sketches (Armida, the Three Marys, Lamia). [[TOME]] (τομή, "a cut, a section") — The little cutting bench: a single-file image prep tool for small edits to downloaded images before they become Metope stamps or Disegno collage pieces. Remove a background with a tap (magic wand or edge-flood), cut out with a lasso, erase and restore with a brush, crop, trim to content, go grayscale or hard 1-bit for stamp masks — then export a transparent PNG. One less reason to open Photoshop. Linked both ways with [[KOLLA]]: the **kolla →** button sends the current cut to the paste-up table as a new layer, and KOLLA sends its collage back to be cut. Together they're also [[ERGASTIRI]], one home-screen app. https://auriea.art/tome.html [[TINCTURE]] — A single-file camera/paint/read colour tool for capturing color from the world, mixing paint, and reading/naming color. It's grown two major features: "Fading Colours," a diary/book mode with a placemarker ribbon, tipped-in paintings, and a gazetteer of places; and "Feel," a depth-mapping mode (via Marigold/fal.ai) that adds relief and tilt-to-relight rendering to captured color. https://auriea.art/color-poetics.html https://auriea.art/tincture.html
