Summary

This adds support for pen tilt in sculpt mode. For now, pen tilt is used
by tweaking the tilt strength property, which controls how much the pen
angle affects the sculpt normal. This is available in Draw, Draw Sharp,
Flatten, Fill, Scrape and Clay Strips brushes, but it can be enabled in
more tools later.

The purpose of this patch is to have a usable implementation of pen tilt
in a painting mode, so users can test and see in which hardware and
platforms this feature is supported and how well it works. If it works
ok, more tools and features that rely on pen tilt can be implemented,
like brushes that blend between two deformations depending on the angle.

From quick glance seems fine, but curios what the even people and artists are thinking here.

Fantastic, can't wait to try it out with my tablet!

I'm a sculptor, Love the idea!

it's great no other sculpting soft offers something like this.

Waiting to be in the master.

@Pablo Dobarro (pablodp606) Seems to work great. I tested it on a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 on Ubuntu 20.04.1
I only noticed that I usually never went above a tilt strength of 0.5. On the scrape brush it still worked well on 0.6. But usually I kept it around 0.3 unless I wanted the effect to be extreme.
The full tilt strength seems so overkill that it can break the direction and invert the stroke to add instead of subtract.

  • Rebase
  • Reduce default tilt sensitivity

I tried it with a Cintiq 24 and an Intous Pro M in both Ubuntu 20.04 and Manajro, works fine.

LGTM

Not sure if others want to have a review here.
