Visual manipulation of a digital object such as three-dimensional digital object manipulation on a two-dimensional display surface is described that overcomes the challenges of explicit specification of axis manipulation for each of the three axes one at a time. In an example, a multipoint gesture to a digital object is received on a display surface, which generates an axis of manipulation based on a position of the multipoint gesture relative to the digital object. Then a manipulation gesture is recognized, indicative of a manipulation of the digital object relative to the axis of manipulation, and a visual manipulation of the digital object about the axis of manipulation is generated based on the manipulation gesture.

Visual manipulation of a digital object

In embodiments of camera-based brush creation, an image is displayed in a brush application interface of a virtual brush application on a computing device. A photo capture selection can be received through the brush application interface to initiate capturing a digital photo of the image with a camera device of the computing device. A brush can then be created for the virtual brush application based on the image and brush-edit inputs, and the brush saved as a brush template in a brush library that is accessible by the virtual brush application. The brush can be created as a ribbon brush that expands a middle section of the image represented as a brush stroke in the brush application interface. Alternatively, the brush can be created as a scatter brush that repeats multiple images of the image represented as a brush stroke in the brush application interface.

Camera-based brush creation

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a drawing application that enables intuitive application of a pressure-sensitive effect to a rendered stroke. Such a drawing application may receive input stroke data along including pressure measurements along a path of the stroke. The drawing application may then map the pressure measurements to respective attribute values for a pressure sensitive stroke attribute. Such a mapping results in a pressure measurement at a predefined level of pressure mapping to a default attribute value, while a pressure measurement above or below the predefined level of pressure would result in an attribute value greater than or less than the default attribute value. The drawing application may then cause a stroke to be rendered on the display in accordance with the attribute values for the pressure sensitive stroke attribute.
