enhancement - model/sequence sharing conundrum #124

Open arw01 opened 6 years ago

arw01 commented 6 years ago

as the software capabilities expand, sharing of sequences is a critical piece to building the community. However as some props will always be wired differently from person to person, when you get down to the layers of pieces of a prop e.g. the arms of a spinner or arms of a snowflake those would not so easily be transferable from person to person.

E.g. if they do not wire their snowflake like I wired my snowflake and I have layers that let me spin JUST the straight out arms (no fingers) then my layer will not work for them and they have to re-create.

When the sharing is designed, some sort of graphical representation or storage of how the layer was made so you could make adjustments when you import it to yours.

E.g. a click and drag a box to collect the nodes/props in the layer and store what they did vector wise to select them. Then if I open a snow flake I can see their selection and modify it to get the right pixels on my prop vs theirs.

Looking at adding a preview option on the grid line title that shows a picture of mapped objects for that grid line. This information will be stored in the sequence file or an exportable file so when a user opens a shared sequence, the user can see a picture representation of the mapped objects of the shared sequence.
