Warp/Mesh Transformation

Open panhartstuff opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

A feature I've been dying to see is the ability to "Distort" and "Warp" selection like in Photoshop. It's super useful for fixing proportions and slanted drawings

Here's an example of what I mean Distort (called "Free Transform" in Clip Studio Paint): 2018-05-01_22-19-45

Warp (called "Mesh Transformation" in Clip Studio Paint): 2018-05-01_22-21-50

Please do consider developing these features!

I very much agree.

It's not quite as versatile as the free transform mode, but a selection shear feature already exists. (Hold Shift+Alt and drag)

Any updates on this?

No, haven't gotten around to this yet. (If anyone else wishes to tackle it in the meantime, I welcome the help.)

I've implemented the Distort aka Free Transform aka Free Deform feature in this branch. I also made a small recording to show it off.

I kinda still want to fix that the handles aren't in the right positions though. And maybe prevent constellations that cause very strange effects... although I dunno if that's worth it, since if you're making silly transformations, that's the result you get.

Warp aka Mesh Transform seems to be a whole lot more complicated though and not something I've ever used myself, so I'm not sure if I'll get around to implementing that as well.
