Raster-Based Painting Software Permanently Freezes Brush Strokes
Mainstream painting software rasterizes each stroke as it is drawn, permanently freezing its properties except for a few limited tools like perspective warp or liquefy. Digital painters who want to keep editing a stroke's pressure, color, or position after drawing it have no first-class way to do so in current tools. A tech demo proposes non-destructive, re-editable strokes via GPU-based on-the-fly rasterization.
