Vector and Selection Brushes

Proposal Info

Areas: Vectors
Proposal Type: Extension of Brush Engine

Overview

Brush Engine currently works only for Image Layers. A brush is composed out of vector shape already. Being able to paint vectors directly onto Vector Layers could improve vector workflow and open a lot of possibilities.

Same applies to selection, a brush should be able to modify selection, the same way as it would on vector layer.

Brush Picker, would likely need to contain preview for each Brush with how it works on vector layers.

Vector Brush should be able to:

  • Create new strokes
  • Modify existing strokes
  • Perform boolean operations
  • Erase existing strokes
