Add curved line guideline to Guidelines
Posted: 20 Jun 2023, 16:59
In the current guidelines we can set a circle or ellipse or a line segment guideline, then the stylus will precisely follow the guideline when drawing a stroke.
My request is to add a guideline where we can set curved line segments (like using Bezier B-Spline) which will set a guideline that our stylus stroke will follow.
This is a bit different than simply using the Bezier B-Spline tool we have in TVPaint, because the tool in CSP allows for pressure sensitive thick-and-thin tapered lines to be drawn while adhering to the path set by the bezier guideline. In TVPaint we set the B-Spline path, then hit Return and it applies the line, but the line is all a uniform thickness, not thick and thin variation.
You can see a demonstration of this feature in this video starting around the 9:59 mark - through - 11.53.

In CSP they call it a "curve ruler" (https://tips.clip-studio.com/en-us/articles/1577 ). It seems to function quite similar to TVPaint's guidelines , except in TVPaint we only have straight line segments , ellipses, and circles as guidelines that the stylus will follow.
Is it possible to add an adjustable, curved line segment guideline to TVPaint's Guidelines ? Maybe not because in Clip Studio Paint this ruler function is on a vector layer and we don't have vector layers in TVPaint yet (but I hope for the next generation TVPaint ?). However, it seems to function almost exactly the way TVPaint's Line Segment, Ellipse , Circle guidelines will allow the stylus to precisely follow the path set by the guidelines, so if the stylus can follow a straight line , an ellipse , and a circle, can it also follow a curved guideline?
