MadJik Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Refresh images and UI. Some ideas for a next version: - repeat + steps - better angle handling - fill / alterned fill - colors (random or from palette) - etc. 4 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
