Request: Vector Image Format Support

I don't know if there's really a standard format for vector images, but this could be very useful for some filters (especially when you want to be able to render them at high resolutions).

Example: I was making a stone wall texture and had an offset map source image. I had a lot of issues with artifacting around the edges of the stones. I couldn't place stones right next to each other or it would be really bad. With a vector image, either the sample would be in one stone offset or another. There wouldn't be any "bleeding" in between. I suppose this could be worked around in ff3 with an insanely high res input texture but lower overall resolution, but vector images could be really useful. Multiple image support + vectors would let you do just about anything you wanted, looking back on the feature requests for spline drawing, etc. Unfortunately, they couldn't be submitted with the source images, but you could make some cool stuff for personal use.

Vectors would integrate perfectly well into Filter Forge's rendering model. The SVG support is on our feature list for FF4.0, but we're already investigating it on low priority.

I thought this: https://filterforge.com/forum/read.php...&TID=13390 was what came for that.

Not that I know anything.

So many threads to dig up requesting some kind of vector support, many being put off by the complexity of how to implement such a feature.

I'd really really like this feature, and I feel there could be a simple way to do it, although I'm not sure of the implications involved. Rather than allowing imports of SVG or EPS files or code, how about only allow the user to draw the shape internally using the bezier curves that is almost already available.

Basically just like the attached Curve Editor component, but being able to draw a full closed shape?

Thoughts?
