Wondering about the possibility of a replacement for the SOP Editor, plus a raster (TOP) counterpart.
I find myself needing shapes that aren’t overly complex, but are a pain to put together using existing basic SOPs and TOPs, so I end up importing files from other software.
… for example ^
In both a SOP and TOP version, it would be great to have:
- Control handles OR a curvature ‘through’ point (such as the incredibly amazing Curvature tool in Illustrator CC)
- Easy adjustments of curvature and conversion between smooth and sharp points
- Snapping in relation to other points
- Manual controls per-point (ie. type in coordinates)
In the TOP version, it would also be great to have:
- Stroke and Fill colors
- Stroke Weight and Stroke Position (outside, inside, on-edge)
- Corner types (sharp, curved etc)
- Cap types (for open shapes; eg. rounded, square, etc)
Is there any chance whatsoever we might ever see an update to the SOP Editor like what I describe here?
