Could you build this?
No The differentiators are a resolution-independent stroke engine, realistic pigment and brush simulation, and proprietary file-format import. These demand specialized graphics-engine and format-reverse-engineering expertise that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a native Apple-platform app (Swift with Metal) with a custom brush and stroke engine that re-renders strokes at any scale, pigment-mixing simulation, and a layers and blend-mode compositor. It also needs importers for Procreate and Photoshop file formats, 3D texture painting on OBJ and USDZ, and animation export. This requires specialized graphics engineering and reverse-engineered file-format work.
