A tool or primitive similar to the TriPlanter tool, but operating on a 2D canvas with a SYMMETRY LINE
. On this canvas, you can paint or stamp a mask, and this mask is then used to generate a lathe (turned) object.
I know that we already have a lathe tool based on curves, but with the current lathe tool it is not possible to save contours or profiles. Each time, the curve has to be recreated from scratch. With this approach, however, silhouette stamps saved as alphas could be used to quickly and easily create lathe objects.
I hope this explains the idea clearly. Essentially, it is a 2D mask that is revolved radially to generate a lathe object.
