The reason the cage tool is slow is that a set of coefficient is computed and used to deform every single pixel inside the cage. The plan was indeed to use the poly2tri-C to mesh the cage and move that instead of each pixels. There is not that much work to do that, as most of the code can be reused, and this library is already used in the seamless clone tool. Another thing to look at is the new Free Transform Tool of Krita, wich looks quite awesome: http://krita.org/item/131-free-transform-tool It's based on this paper: http://faculty.cs.tamu.edu/schaefer/research/mls.pdf 2013/3/11 Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre.prokoudine@xxxxxxxxx> > > Well, I'm not really trained to talk of such things, but one thing > worth thinking of is how precise your method is trying to be. > > One of the reasons why Cage Transform is so slow is that it's trying > to be too smart and does too much computation. > > The plan was to eventually start using poly2tri-C library that > implements Delaunay triangulations.
