contour regions: position and lines

Post by Balmung » Mon Mar 29, 2021 6:41 am

After some more testing in the current demo I think the contour region is my personal top feature. But I got 2 issues with it:
  • "equal" is useless for me, but "inner" & "outer" are too extrem. A modifier for the underlaying factor or a slider for every level to move it more in or out is what I need.
  • The 1st line is nicely rigged as fractal, but just the 2nd line is very smooth. I tried it with one big island (whole DIN A2 page), but even when there is enough space to be rigged, it's not.

I think we can make both changes with no engine changes, just UI. For the first one, would it be enough to have an overall "factor" slider? Which would basically go from Inner to Outer and any step in between?

Thank you!

I guess it depends on the current number:

If it's an integer between 0-10: a slider should be fine.

If it's a float from 0-1000: then I think a editable field would be better.
