UVCanvas Element

[anon24371531]

I’d like to request adding a new element, one that isn’t as restrictive as the UVGradient because this would allow players to have full control over drawing pixels on the screen / shading / 2D and 3D engine creation in real time.

I’ve talked about this here:

Hi, I have a little question which might seem out of place, but since you’re currently looking into raytracing with 2D grid canvases composed of ScreenGui Frames, wouldn’t it be more efficient to have a new instance, something like a UVCanvas to do rendering on? Since we already have UIGradients to do partial pixel / canvas editing, wouldn’t this be something you can just take and make its own instance of? This would open up the door to do raytracing and even shader engine creation on an even larger scale.

Edit: In case you’re worried about the moderation aspect, just like builds in game can’t be moderated until reported, games like Free Draw allow you to draw on a canvas without passing through Roblox’s image moderation system. Or you can introduce it to a handful of developers just like with the video feature.

Here’s an example of what a UVCanvas looks like with a gradient animation, but the possibilities of what you can do with it are literally endless:
