Integrating the MyPaint Brush Engine with Krita

Summary

MyPaint developers have separated out their brush engine in the form of a library, libmypaint. Artists like MyPaint brushes a lot and it would be good to integrate the same as a new brush engine within Krita brush engine subsystem.

The project has two objectives:

1. To integrate the MyPaint brush engine in the form of a new brush engine in Krita, enable it to load the MyPaint brushes from system and use them for painting in Krita.
2. To implement a preset editor to edit existing brushes and also create new ones.

By the end of the project, Krita will have a new brush engine that can be used for painting with MyPaint brushes and also create and edit them.

Milestones

• Implement a new brush engine in Krita that can be used for painting.
• Enable Krita to load installed MyPaint brushes from the system.
• Implement a preset editor for editing and creating MyPaint brushes.
