Ho！ If it is feasible, then yes! To be perfectly
honest, I have
yet to see a good implementation of Both functions
simultaneously
(though I haven't checked proprietary software in a while.
Still...).
Gimp had discussed the possibility of implementing
"drawing" layers,
probably because its pure vector functions are rather
awkward right
now (at least I think so), but I'm not sure how that plan's
been
going. As for vector programs... well they don't much have
raster
capabilities.
In the case of Krita, having a vector layer on top of a
raster layer
for example could lead to interesting possibilities. You
could chose
an object in the vector layer, modify it, then use it to
"drop" a
raster line onto the layer below. Doesn't that nearly sound
like
on-canvas editable brushes to you? Objects can be modified
all you
want, then you have multiple instances dropped onto a raster
layer,
the advantage being that with raster, you don't have to keep
a
million objects around either. Simple scenario:
- make a star shape
- drag it around while pressing say... "space," to
drop multiple
raster copies of it
- modify the star shape and repeat.
Once you're done, you can either keep the vector layer, or
hide it.
It can also be used to complement mask layers, making
selections
easier.
Though... I'm not sure if the above are the best
implementations of
this feature. XD I don't have much experience in attempting
to
combine raster and vectors. Matthew, since you started this,
what
is your own input on this?
