We need better vector, spline based tools IMO in Designer

Having  a tire track on a ground  driven by  a spline  for a example .  Decades agp I loved  Creative House Expression for so called "skeletal strokes"  . Splines where  you  could make up to 10 randomlly alternating fragments smoothly deformed along a spline.  

Also spline based scatterers  with precise control how much spacing  and offset objects  are  getting off the spline .    It had been much more controllable than typical  SD splatters. 

  It had been my first perfectly non destructive and procedural  soft for textures  in early 90th .

Still missing many of its features

Based  on my Blender experience all we need probably is just two color  gradients  representing   curve length factor  and normal  is 32 bit floating point as a curve outline color instead of just  flat color value + outline  width slider.      Then it would be simple.      Would be great  to have such option in SVG  node. 

If I could do it in many vector  soft , as a brush in Illustrator for example, except they are all just 8 bit    why not in Designer itself ?

We could do lots of flow effects too if it would be available.

I agree, it has been a long standing desire to have the ability to place shapes along a curve in a material graph.
