Created attachment 117329 [details] image with suggested UI for multibrush/translate tool upgrade The multibrush tool currently has 4 modes of operation: 1. Symmetry mode - deterministic, the user has full control over the outcome 2. Mirror mode - deterministic 3. Translate mode - non-deterministic, the position of sub-brushes depends on random number gen, the user has limited control of distribution 4. Snowflake mode - deterministic. Out of all of them, one multibrush type in particular stands out. This is of course the translate brush. the idea for this feature request is to add a new dialog window to allow users to fine-tune parameters of the translate multibrush, instead of using rng to determine them. See the attached file for more details on one of the ways this can possibly work.
We were discussing this over IRC a bit. We need to query some artists to see how they currently use this feature (if at all), and what route to take.
This feature has been added and will be available in Krita 4.2. Closing this ticket as this ticket was about adding the feature. The current UI that was added is a bit confusing. There is a separate discussion going with how to improve the UI/UX for the multi-brush tool. https://phabricator.kde.org/T10534
