Question

Programmed grid system

I wanted to do this myself but because of bad circumstances I don’t have to tools to, I was wondering if Asprite can implement a feature, like how unreal engine uses a type of graph to deal with graphics, that is used to track color placement across the canvas. this tracking of color can be used in correlation with a system that places color in relation to shades for depth. with this, I believe you can do something similar to how the AI companies generate images but with sprites tho the detailed work will still have to be manually done with some example images, and users’ input in requests for builds or looks you can make developers process much faster. my question is this possible? Also, this is considering that the grid would have to be very large… 3000x2400. for all, I know this must have been explored or already implemented

Hi @Stefon311868058gde, you have raised an interesting question! However, it seems so far out of Adobe Illustrator's usual purview that I wonder if you have posted in the correct forum? Perhaps you could help by giving a *simple* example of what you might like to be able to do. After that we can think about technical details, perhaps.

This may have been best posted in animation, with the use of layers, for
example, I can make a background that is a sunset and place the sky, the
sun, and the clouds all in separate layers then let the program generate
the setting. also for lots of images including sprites, if I wanted a
Mario-like character I should type that into an interface with just a
simple command line or some input box what should be generated is a head,
torso, each leg, and an arm in a separate layer also can generator the
items at different angles but not on the canvas but to the side so the
person can view and see them first. if you wanted to make top-down
animations you can use the command line to ask for topdown animations. I
think this creates just about instant animation with generated assets
leaving the ability to edit them.

another example is if I wanted to generate a palm tree, I would request in
the command line and then give a primary color, secondary color, or more,
which is tan or light brown for the trunk and then green for the leaves, so
portions of the palm tree are generated on a different layer and the system
creates the shades or that color to give it depth using the coordinates
