Abstract: Techniques for responsive video canvas generation are described to impart three-dimensional effects based on scene geometry to two-dimensional digital objects in a two-dimensional design environment. A responsive video canvas, for instance, is generated from input data including a digital video and scene data. The scene data describes a three-dimensional representation of an environment and includes a plurality of planes. A visual transform is generated and associated with each plane to enable digital objects to interact with the underlying scene geometry. In the responsive video canvas, an edit positioning a two-dimensional digital object with respect to a particular plane of the responsive video canvas is received. A visual transform associated with the particular plane is applied to the digital object and is operable to align the digital object to the depth and orientation of the particular plane. Accordingly, the digital object includes visual features based on the three-dimensional representation.

Abstract: A graphics design system provides intuitive 3D transformations for 2D objects. A user interface element is presented on 2D object or group of 2D objects. The user interface element comprises a combination of components for applying different 3D transformations, including at least one rotation component for rotating a 2D object or group of 2D objects around an axis and at least one translation component for translating the 2D object or group of 2D objects along at least one axis. 3D transformations are non-destructive and performed relative to axes local to a 2D object or 2D objects. When a 2D object or group of 2D objects is rotated around an axis, the other axes are rotated. As such, subsequent rotations and translations are performed based on the rotated axes. Additionally, editing actions associated with rotated 2D object(s) are performed in the rotated x-y plane of the rotated 2D object(s).

Abstract: In embodiments of objects alignment and distribution layout, an object layout interface includes objects displayed for selection and manipulation. A layout algorithm receives a reposition input for a selected object in the object layout interface, and determines a distribution layout and/or an alignment layout of the objects. The layout algorithm positions the selected object equidistant between at least two of the objects or at a distance from a closest one of the objects, the distance being an equivalent distance of a space between the at least two objects. The space between the objects is displayed as positive space that visually indicates the equidistance between the objects. Alternatively or in addition, the layout algorithm positions the selected object in alignment with multiple objects, and an alignment indication, such as an edge line and/or a distance measurement, is displayed for each instance of the selected object being aligned with the multiple objects.

Abstract: A tool is provided via a user interface for a digital media application that supports digital illustrations. The tool combines operations to create different types of segments for a drawing shape and covert between types of segments. The tool is configured to analyze the drawing to recognize segments that are straight, arc, or curved portions of the drawing path. For segments recognized as curved, the segments are represented as Bezier curve segments. For segments recognized as straight, the segments are represented as line segments. Additionally, line segments are associated with handle elements operable to convert the line segments to regular arc segments. Responsive to manipulation of a handle element for a particular line segment, the tool computes a corresponding regular arc and converts the line segment into a regular arc segment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to facilitating object set replication. In embodiments described herein, a repeatable object set can be generated. Such a repeatable object set can include one or more objects and a field format indicating a position of the object(s) within a field. The generated repeatable object set can be replicated as replicated object sets into a set of fields within a layout structure, wherein each of the replicated object sets includes a representation of the object(s) placed within a corresponding field in accordance with the field format indicating the position of the one or more objects. The replicated object sets within the set of fields the layout structure can then be presented.
