Add Stylus Tilt Control for Grease Pencil Brushes

The new additions to materials coming in 5.2 are very promising:

New placement settings for line materials using Dots and Squares were added … There are three placement modes: Count, Density, and Radius.

Added randomization settings to the new placement options above. These allow the randomization of size, opacity, and color of the rendered dots/squares.

These features are helping to make Blender's brush engine more robust, particularly when it comes to texture brushes. However, I think there are two big features missing compared to other drawing/animation programs.

One of them I cover here . The other is the lack of tilt support when using styluses.

As you can see, other programs change the size , spread , and in some cases texture of the brush when tilting your stylus.

I think a feature like this goes a long way in having brush strokes appear more natural and dynamic, as well as creating a more intuitive drawing experience.
