Title: VFB Markup Tool (AKA red pen)
Post by: alexyork on 2019-09-12, 12:46:42
Just had a thought, perhaps already suggested before by someone... how about a simple red pen markup tool within VFB/IR? Happens countless times - set off a render, spot something you need to change, then.. you have to make a note down somehow. Better if we could just scribble a circle around something, or draw lines or whatever. Just something you can turn on/off easily.

Title: VFB - Marker/Highlighter

Hey,

This is a feature request that was posted a while back - https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=26180.msg155852#msg155852

Not sure if it has been suggested since. However I just thought again I would request it. Even if its just a simple "red pen" you can just draw with and it can be toggled on and off with an overlay.

A suggestion in the other thread was Epic Pen, however I am not sure how viable it is, but just in case anyone clicks on this and needs something in the mean time, perhaps that will be useful.

No definite plans yet, but this could be addressed by Chaos Cloud Collaboration, when Chaos Cloud compatibility comes along. The aim of that part of Cloud is to share images easily with clients and allow markup (it already exists, it's just compatibility with Corona that doesn't yet). Presumably marking something in this way would be for when sharing with clients or other team members anyway, right? Or you have some other use in mind for it?

Please do not post duplicate feature requests, or bug reports, it will only makes more mess in the forum. If you want to bump request, just leave reply in original topic. Thanks.

I merged duplicated topics.

Oh cool I wasn't aware of that. Yeah so essentially it would be for those applications as you say, what brought it to my mind was simply looking at the VFB and thinking "I could really do with just marking out on here the bits I need to fix and then go through them 1 by 1" I've done that before but it would be to save the image out, open it in Photoshop and then create a new layer and scribble over it.

Does sound like Cloud Collaboration will fit the bill. Let's see how things progress with Corona 10!
