Hello everyone, I am new here in Tiled so I hope I a posting my project in the correct location.

I would like to share my project for Tiled called \*\*Brushtily\*\*, a JavaScript extension that brings freeform texture painting and object stamping capabilities to Tiled Map Editor.

🎨 What is Brushtily?

Brushtily bridges the gap between Tiled’s grid-based workflow and freeform digital painting, inspired by projects like Inkarnate’s intuitive brushing and stamping system. It enables artists and level designers to create organic, natural-looking terrain and textures directly in Tiled.

✨ Key Features

Texture Painting

- \*\*Freeform Brush Strokes\*\*: Non-grid-aligned painting with smooth, natural strokes

- \*\*Custom Brush Textures\*\*: Load PNG/JPG images as brush textures

- \*\*Tileset Tile Brushes\*\*: Use tiles from your tilesets directly as brushes

- \*\*Auto-Smoothing\*\*: Automatically removes hard edges for natural results

- \*\*Multiple Brush Shapes\*\*: Circular, Square, Ellipse, or Diamond

Advanced Brush Controls

- Brush Size (10-500 pixels)

- Opacity (0-100%)

- Softness (0-100%) - Edge feathering

- Texture Scale (10-200%)

- Rotation (0-360°) with rotation jitter

- Position jitter and spacing control

- Professional blend modes (Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, etc.)

- Mask modes (Add, Subtract, Multiply)

Object Stamping System

- \*\*Drag-to-Stamp Workflow\*\*: Easy object placement on ObjectGroup layers

- \*\*Object Library Browser\*\*: Visual browser with thumbnails, categories, and search

- \*\*Automatic Object Placement\*\*: Places objects along brush stroke path

- \*\*Random Variation\*\*: Optional rotation and scale variation for natural placement

- \*\*Smart Mode Switching\*\*: Automatically toggles between painting and stamping modes

- \*\*Descriptive Object Naming\*\*: Objects named based on source files for easy identification

Additional Features

- \*\*Right-Click Erase\*\*: Independent erase brush with separate size and softness controls

- \*\*Fill Mode\*\*: Bucket fill with color tolerance control

- \*\*Pressure Sensitivity\*\*: Velocity-based simulation for natural brush strokes

- \*\*Brush Presets\*\*: Save and load favorite configurations

- \*\*Layer Brush Memory\*\*: Automatically remembers brush texture per layer

- \*\*Native Layer Blending\*\*: Seamless integration between layers
