Mesh Art Positioning Techniques as part of Digital Content Creation

In a digital medium environment to control rendering of an item of digital content that includes mesh art, a system comprising:

• a mesh art collection module implemented at least partially in hardware of a computing device to obtain data, via a mesh art application programming interface (API), that describes a plurality of vertices of mesh art within the item of digital content;
• a snap point list generation module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to generate a snap point list based on at least one vertex of the plurality of vertices of the mesh art that is assigned a color;
• a snapping module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to determine a relationship, in a user interface based on the snap point list, between the at least one vertex in the mesh art and an object included within the item of digital content;
• and
• a digital content rendering module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to render at least one visual guide in the user interface to align the object to the at least one vertex in the mesh art based at least in part on relationship.

In a digital medium environment to render of an item of digital content that includes mesh art, a system comprising:

• means for obtaining data that describes a plurality of vertices of mesh art within an item of digital content;
• means for determining from the data which of the plurality of vertices are a source of a diffused color region in the mesh art;
• means for generating a snap point list based on the determining means;
• means for determining a relationship between the mesh art and an object in the item of digital content based on the snap point list;
• and
• means for rendering the digital content in a user interface as snapping the object or the mesh art to a location in the user interface based on the relationship.
