Automatic configuration for dynamic painting using textures.

The last time I used it, dynamic painting based on texture instead of polygons required you to create a UV map, a material, define a file location and then bake a sequence of images that would then be associated with the previously created material.

It would be very practical to have an automated option. A simple automatic UV map, a simple material or additional nodes by default, and a predefined area for the bake.

This way you could use dynamic painting on a plane, or another low poly object, and visualize everything right away. Even using textures like occlusion parallax to have reliefs without polygons.

By default, there is a repository automatically generated to bake the effect. That is not a problem. IMO, that is safe to have it in tmp folder for first tests.
Currently, when a primitive is added. UVmap generation is automatic.

So, you have a plane as a canvas, it has an UVmap. You don't have to create an UVmap. You don't even have to precise it in modifier to make dynamic paint working.

But the part about previewing the result is entirely true. User have to create a material or re-use current one, to add an Image texture node to it, to open baked image sequence, to enable Auto-refresh property, and to reload images sequence at each bake.
