[Feature request] Straight z-seam painting

[bionik]

I would like to suggest a feature request for z-seam painting.

It's sometimes hard do draw the z-seam in straight line. In Photoshop there is a way to paint straight lines by first clicking the starting point and with shift pressed you click another point. Photoshop then draws a straight line to the ending point.

This would not be too hard to implement in Orca. You would need to keep track of the last point and then when clicking to the new point when shift is pressed, you would interpolate (in screen cordinates) a line between the points. This could be implemented as synthetic clicks in small increments between these coordinates.

Within the painting option, just below the sliders, there is a check box for that feature called "Vertical"
It makes seam painting SO much better.

That is convenient, but not all models have vertical corners. The straight line painting option would be very beneficial for these situations.

Alternatively, using the outline of the manually drawn line, then finding a median value that represents a straight line, something like this:

Or just allow to create a modifier, like adding a cylinder, within which the seam must be rendered, the radius can then decide how strictly it's followed if there are reasons to optimize within the radius at all.
