Map Displace or Map Displacement Feature

@Deif_Lou

Another approach that I think is the best in terms of developing time and amount of changes to Krita itself is just using patterns to guide the displacement. If you want to use an image from disk you just load it as pattern first. If you want some layer to be used, you just make it into a pattern. The pros are that all the mechanisms are already put in place and one can just develop the filter itself.

Would making a new resource type called displacement map be too much / or is it feasible ?It can work like brush tip or pattern resource

[Deif_Lou]

I don’t know, but they would be just images, like the patterns, so maybe it’s easier to just use the patterns. That way the current patterns could be used as displacement maps as well. Maybe just tagging certain patterns as displacement maps is enough organization-wise.

At the backend it would be okay. But in the front end users would not have that much use of these displacement maps inside the pattern docker. It will only add confusion and clutter. Hence I asked if it can be made a separate resource

There was an old Photoshop tutorial using this feature, here’s a Spanish version of it.
The tutorial used channels in the effect, but nothing that prevents using layers instead of channels

@Yuri_B

But are we talking of the Photoshop simple version or the Affinity live editable version? Can the Affinity approach be done?

Isn’t the affinity thing just like the Krita filter layers?

This thread has had a bit of constant push since its inception. Here’s another almost a year later. Please add this to Krita!!

@Richard_Perry Pleased don’t bump Feature Request topics just because you want them. It has no effect on whether they are implemented or not.
If you really want it, you could have voted for it with the Vote button and even that doesn’t guarantee that the developers will work on it.
