==========================================================
GUI IMPROVEMENTS
==========================================================
++ Make the Icons larger and reduce the toolbar to 2 lines. This will make the program more functional and more aesthetically pleasing.
++ Update all of the icons for a more sleek and professional appearance.
++ Split the canvas into two color regions. The area within the camera view should default to white and the area outside of the camera view should be dark.
++ Add a bar to the right of the canvas like Photoshop. The user could then access panels like Actions, Layer Properties and Swatches the side panel.
==========================================================
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
==========================================================
++ Add bone groups.
++ Add the ability to attach a layer's Z-Depth position to a Bone Z-Depth position. This will make moving body parts in front of and behind other objects easier.
++ Add "REAL Z-DEPTH" layer ordering. This means that all layers are ordered based on their global Z-Depth, regardless of their nesting.
++ Add the ability to give a bone a default interpolation type. For example, a user might want a smartbone to always animate on step without having to manually set it to step every time they switch to it.
++ Add the ability to drive smartbone actions with bone position/scale
++ Add the ability to blend actions together using corrective actions. (I described this earlier)
++ Give us the option to break layer references for groups without breaking the referencing of layers nested in the group.
++ Add the ability to lock a layer from being modified or expanded.
++ Add the ability to show/hide specific layer types within the layers panel.
++ Add compression to IK stretching.
++ Improve tools that allow users to position objects in 3d space. It should be easier to move objects on a constrained axes and rotate them around specific axes.
++ Allow the user to set the stroke for an object to only appear on one side of the stroke line. This makes strokes more sharp and crisp.
++ Allow click and drag across layer eye icons to hide or reveal layers. (photoshop does this)
++ Add a GRID to 3d space.
++ Add the ability to keyframe style changes.
++ Add svg export.
