--> Update w/ User Feature Requests! // NEW: Online KNOB BUILDER for HISE!! // Filmstrips, Radial Gradients, Render Bounds

@Chazrox Ok so I've spent a little time with this now, well done its great. One thing I think would add to its utility is the ability to set the alpha value of colours, maybe you can but I cant see it...

[Chazrox]

@Lindon Thank You!

No you're right, I didnt add alpha sliders to the flat colour selections. I'll def add that in the next update. I appreciate the feedback.

Actually it was alpha applied to the gradient colours that I was after...

[Chazrox]

@Lindon I gotchu on both.

Great stuff - I see you've made some awesome improvements and implemented some of my suggestions & ideas - thank you! Can I suggest more features? 1. Gradient direction. 2. Textures other than just noise with some more control over them too? That'd be great for scuff marks etc.

Might be cool to explore adding 3d & lighting (multiple light sources) as a Pro feature or something - three.js would be a good bet and would definitly take this to the next level.

@Chazrox It might be useful to have something that can reduce the size of all, I keep getting caught out with the dropshadow since its mostly done last and then i have to resize everything.

I could of course clean up my workflow, just saying :)

[Chazrox]

@lalalandsynth

This is supposed to help with that but I guess its not that helpful without visual feedback of some sort on the canvas. I'll add this in the next update so its actually useful. Thank You

@digi @lalalandsynth
Alright, finally got to get through your update requests.

Here we go:

"Render Bounds" button on the toolbar.
Shows red box for clear boundaries.

Right-click any thumbnail of a 'User Preset' to show it on the designer canvas as a "reference image".

Colour Theme Editor:

Colour Token selector near every colour picker:

Theme editor. (100 Factory Themes)

Colour Alpha param for every colour option including range params for gradient transition values:

(Also shown: Newly added RADIAL GRADIENT option)

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the input everyones been sending here including the enthusiastic pm's! I'll have alot more for you guys soon.

PS> There were a few other little things added but i'll leave it to you to find.

@Chazrox You are amazing , loving this update !!!

Radial gradient ;)

I would love to see BG as transparent, especially when using as placeholder in design as I might have gradient background or in fact change the background color and then I have to change bg in app and re-export. if possible ?

[Chazrox]

@lalalandsynth Darn I totally forgot about that one. I'll do that asap.

[lalalandsynth]

@Chazrox Love the ref, game changer!

[lalalandsynth]

@Chazrox great update, enjoy the coffee ;)

[Chazrox]

@lalalandsynth Thank You brotha!
Im already working on a couple more updates now! I'll do the transparent backgroung png export for sure. Im also gonna investigate the mod value approach you suggested.

[Chazrox]

Also, just updated the boundary setting method for setting export dimensions. The red dashed box represents exactly how your export will look in Snapshot (transparent background), HISE compile and PNG Filmstrip.

In the example below, it shows you that the bounds set in the app translates accurately so you can be comfortable that you wont have as much back and forth to get your dimensions right.

Each export has its own oversampling options.

Also added:
"Range Trim" so that we can do different arc shapes.
All layer components will follow this arc range.

Enjoy!

[Chazrox]

These are examples compiled in HISE (600x600 canvas). White knobs are PNG filmstrips. Black knobs are LAF.

@Chazrox "how your export will look in Snapshot (transparent background),"

Am i thick I cant see how i can set background to alpha?

[Chazrox]

@lalalandsynth The background is transparent by default when you export.
