Will UF fills use a sample based approach similar to FF?

Is the idea to keep the fill workflow fully procedural, or are UF fills treated more like image generators that output bitmaps?

We will support both approaches. GPU fills will be fully procedural, infinite and sample-based (similar to regular FF components), while bitmap nodes like Crop, Flip, Blur, or Stable Diffusion, will accept and output finite pixel bitmaps.

Ok, cool. So how will the conversion from a chain of fill nodes to a bitmap work? Will there be something like a rasterizer node with resolution and sampling settings or?

All the fill nodes will live in a GPU function. The function won't output a bitmap -- it will output a 'shader' which you can plug into a Render Bitmap node, which takes a shader, image dimensions, and some parameters (such as anti-aliasing method).
