The Vector Graphics System has been added to allow you to design images using tools that you will find familiar with other packages.
Create a Canvas and add shapes, change line styles, fill with color, images, shaders, render camera views to rectangles and much more.
You can then preview your Canvas on an object live using the Vector Graphics Shader. The shader also supports animation, allowing you to animate all aspects of the Vector image and use it directly as an animated texture during rendering.
In addition to general image creation a Canvas can be used with the Paint Brush Standard tool to paint image directly onto objects using Projection Painting.
The Vector Graphics System is also at the core of the 3D PDF Page Designer workflow for creating interactive PDFs for viewing in Acrobat Reader.
