The ability to rotate the canvas, makes it easier to draw with the paint tool (Storyboard, drafts, textures, …)
Middle mouse Button+ alt rotate the canvas
Intro? or other key, returns in normal square mode
And Other idea:
Blender proposal Grease Pencil "Text " and “Arrow” Labels
The ability to add text labels to write notes and “standard arrow” label.
Tools for users who do not have a Tablet Digitizer
And a more “clean” to write notes (drafts, Storyboard, education…)
Please put this on blenderstom, this would be an awesome new feature.
I know CS4 and painter have this feature and alot of people love using it.
How about alt+left mouse though, that way when your using a pen tablet you just hold down alt press the pen down and move it about to rotate, much easier i think.
“How about alt+left mouse though, that way when your using a pen tablet you just hold down alt press the pen down and move it about to rotate, much easier i think.”
So that means you have a tablet that sends rotational information (gyroscope?) to the computer, and it controls the rotation of the canvas, am I right? Clever… Would be nice addition to a tablet, btw…
The proposal is great, we just need more people to handle the newer feature requests/proposals!
If you have a Cintiq tablet, you just draw straight on the screen! All done for you.
But yes i agree, it is a very nice feature to be able to rotate in the 2D image editor, since we are already working with OpenGL, and polygons i would assume this should be a CPU/GPU free feature.
i don’t think the image editor drawing is polygon based. i haven’t looked at the code but from the behaviour it looks like gldrawpixels() to me. i guess then it isn’t that easy to rotate?
