Next Major Update Question

[ggermain1]

I’ve been really loving the 4.0 update. Phenomenal job! I really love this app and I was wondering what are going to be some of the planned features in the next major update? Is there a planned ETA.

The biggest two features will be:
- animations
- vector pen tool

[ggermain1]

Just to clarify, when you say "vector pen tool" do you mean a regular pen tool or do you mean full vector image support?

[Icezimy]

Omg that sounds great! Looking forward for animation tools especially!

I’m not sure yet… rather pen tool only, with vector layer.

Animating on artstudio sounds like a dream... depending on how thorough you want to be with it, there's an app I could recommend you look at called callipeg which is focused entirely on animation. Though I know adding an elaborate animation interface is probably unrealistic, so even a simple frame by frame animation option is something I'd really be looking forward to!

[Icezimy]

Yes I agree callipeg is a good app to get inspiration for the implementation, and something like it inside Artstudio would be amazing! Actually I’ve also recommend just that yesterday to the ASP developer, but via email haha

Autoshape vector tool would be like the next level and ability to move the point while in drawing mode. I'll upload a video of my process in how I use pen tool in photoshop.

Autoshape for pen tool
2 step drawing, Shape from autoshape > edit shape using nodes.

Thanks for you suggestions about Callipeg, however we will not make so advanced animation features in the first try...

Vector tools - it will be probably released a bit later, not in 4.1. That's because we are not sure how it should work and it seems every user expect something else about vectors....

Will post-editing autoshapes be a feature in 4.1?

Will post-editing autoshapes be a feature in 4.1?

I need that too, the auto shape feature is not useful for me without post editing, it's nearly impossible to place the shape correctly

[Lucky Clan]

Maybe...

That makes sense, but is there a chance we still might get something like the motion paths and motion layers(to allow for multiple timelines) like in Fresco?

you are crazy!

[retrograde]

I am super excited about the possible addition of a vector pen tool or just vector capabilities in general. This would open up so many new possibilities for creating the type of art I usually do in other applications only with the awesomeness of Artstudio Pros epic painting abilities as well. I will be following the progress of this feature closely. Cheers Lucky Clan!
