Third and last video on how to export images. The video became a bit long, but I did try to show differences between raster and vector images, specifically the file sizes and quality aspect of it. Additionally, you can also see the difference between a PDF and SVG.

Very informative series. I always wanted to learn this but didn't know where to get started. Thank you.

Hi, nice tutorial!
at 13:30 you add the spacebar feature to get a new iteration, but when you record the image it saves yet another version as it does another redraw(). Do you have an easy solution to always save the image that is currently on screen, rather than generating a new one?

For SVG, is there a comparable library for Processing 4? It looks the library you reference doesn't work with latest version of Processing.

This was indeed very useful. How does one deal with when the artwork uses P3D mode?

Do you ever use JPEG? All my designs are either PNG for transparent overlays. JPEG for the design that goes into Kaleider, and GIF. I make my own GIF's but there is a place to get license free GIF's. Your work is so different from mine JPEG would be so large to export. PDF's are still beyond me but I don't need to export anything that large. My videos are MPEG.

Hi there, how do I export PDF files when I'm using blendMode in my program, since I mostly use blend modes in my programmes and when I export I do not get the output which shows up in the renderer. Is there a way around for this?
