🚀 Feature Request: Game-Artist QoL Tools (Wrap-Around Painting, Bezier + Image Fill, Sprite-Shape-Style Splines)

[jony100200]

Summary
I’m a game artist and would love Graphite to add a few productivity features that would make it a serious alternative to Krita/Unity for asset creation.
I also really miss some of the old Flash conveniences — it was fast for drawing, filling, and animating assets.

---

1️⃣ Wrap-Around / Seamless Canvas Mode

• What: A toggle to make the canvas tile in X/Y so you can paint/draw seamless textures.

• Why: Krita’s and old Flash’s wrap mode are fantastic for creating repeating backgrounds, terrain, and game textures. It would be great to have this in a vector/hybrid app.

• Details:

  • Toggle (hotkey W).
  • Adjustable tile count (1×3×5).
  • Optional tile-border overlay.
  • Export “single tile” PNG/SVG with extra bleed pixels.

---

2️⃣ Bezier Curves + Image Fill (Tileable)

• What: Closed shapes can be filled with an image that repeats, scales, rotates, or mirrors.
• Why: Great for platform edges, ground pieces, roads, UI panels.
• Controls: Scale %, rotation, offset, clamp/repeat/mirror, “bake to bitmap”.

---

3️⃣ Sprite-Shape-Style Splines (Unity-Like)

• What: Spline/path system that swaps sprites along the curve (straight, corner, end caps, etc.).

• Why: Let artists quickly draw platforms, fences, roads, rivers — like Unity’s SpriteShape but directly in the art tool.

• Features:

  • Corner types: round, mitre, custom cap.
  • Segment tiling: repeat/stretch/stretch+repeat.
  • Per-knot width/height for variable thickness.

---

4️⃣ Pattern Along Path

• What: Repeat any element along a path with spacing/rotation/scale jitter.
• Why: Quick decoration (stones, foliage, fence posts, rivets).

---

5️⃣ Game-Dev Export Friendly

• Batch export slices or sprite sheets.
• Power-of-two options, padding/bleed, trim transparency.
• JSON/atlas metadata for Unity/Godot.

---

Impact
These tools would save a huge amount of time for game artists creating side-scroller and top-down assets.
They combine seamless painting (Krita) with spline/platform workflows (Unity/Flash) — directly inside Graphite.

Thanks for the suggestions. We'll reference this as we continue development.

I’m not sure, but are you also targeting game artists and game developers with this?
If nothing else is possible, having a wrap-around mode would already be amazing.
I’m honestly jealous of pixel art tools — but none of the big ones (even Adobe) have this feature.
Krita does, and it’s such a game-changer for making seamless textures, but it's not a vector art tool.
