That's Ok!
Yep sort of...
The issue with the sub brush hinges around its 'solidity'
A. I set the Flow to around 30% initially, to make it more transparent...but it didn't quite create the effect. You can do this simply by adding a 'round' brush to the list in the sub brush category.. and stacking it below anything else or set in 'drawing' dropdown to behind
B. Set the size of the sub brush slightly larger as well and release the size from sync
C. Setting it to erase creates the weird effects in the fist few brushes!
D. Add a organic base texture to parent brush 'punches' through the sub brush to create the texture
I have added a small to set of nozzles and base textures to experiment withEnjoy!

Nozzles
Version 2
Added some extra tests
A. With leaves
B. with textured sub Brush
C. with size variations -

@StuartRc : Ok, what would you like to know ?
Sorry!
meant to say... that I should have explained the process a bit better instead of just adding the experimental brush set...I have completed that now! So you can experiment with the brushes...

@Dan C ; @firstdefence ; @StuartRc :
That's wonderful !
Thanks a million for all your trouble, guys
Please stay safe !!
Best, C.L.
No Problem ..it was fun!...need to add explanation though!

Interesting...just had to have a go!

bit of an experiment to see if can get it to work
So
1. Set the master (Parent brush to colour automatically in brush dynamics with hue | saturation | luminance values)
2. Also add the Scatter
3. Set the sub Brush to a low flow value to get the halo
options
A. Add a grunge base texture for effect to the parent (does not work very well in the sub brush!)
B. Adjust nozzle type for the 'dots' ..can be whatever you like!
Avoid using a solid for the sub brush halo as tends to create a solid..opted for a dot texture brush with dots...you can also change this for effect to set it to erase -

Has this issue been resolved or should I downgrade to the previous beta version? I'm unable to apply any vector brush style to the stroke of shapes drawn in Windows AD beta. The document is incompatible with the regular (non-beta) version so I'm basically stuck. Please release a fix asap.
I am sure it will be fixed shortly...with regards to the document...not opening...you can copy/paste between files (artboards/layers/groups/objects)

Yeah! But try keeping track of a few hundred named layers. Generally I group them into sections, like "Engine," "Hull," "Topwing," "Wing 1! etc. Then undergroups for instance- Engine- cowling- sidepanels- cylinders. and so on and so on. Then under under groups, engine- cowling- rivets.
You can keep track until you want to insert a new layer between layers in a grouped group. Then things get hairy.
I fully understand that issue...I resorted to stacked embedded files... or nested layers to get around the dilemma...

Can I download for now on window,the vector brush fixed?
There is nothing stopping you downloading the beta...it is however an issue with the vector brushes... I am sure it will be resolved in due course...It has already on the Mac!

Hi,
Thanks for the update
Installed Ok but the Vector brushes seem to default to a simple line or basic brush
-
Brilliant.. Thank you!

Hi
I am having the same issue...I can get a data field to work but not an image. I have tried:
CSV file and edited the path a few times(using @ or '@ in field header or '@image'), removing spaces, quotes and double quotes etc
Adding an image to frame in first instance
Changing background colour/frame
Changed the route path to an easier location
Also removed any spaces in path location
....but still cannot seem to get it to function
The field Panel keeps closing!

Fantastic stuff. To my eyes, a very original style and color palette. I'd put it right up there with Lane Smith, with a splash of Matt Mahurin.
Thank you...I keep wondering about 'my style'
!
I am a bit behind though...trying to update some brushes at same time...didn't work!

Sorry I meant to list this as a “known issue”. If hardware acceleration is disabled, some of the brush previews are failing to draw.
Hi, Mark
I switched on acceleration, re-started also gave the machine a reboot...managed to get it looking a bit better.. thanks for picking it up so quick!

Hi,
Thanks for the latest beta update
Installed OK!...
But (this is a first for me!) having some serious issues trying to get the brushes to function in Pixel Persona. The issue is evident in the preinstalled brushes and some of the custom sets that I created. They are working fine in 1.8.5 and all previous versions!1. I have tried resetting the app (excluding deleting the brush sets)
2. Deleted category and re-installed
3. Played around with some of the dynamics
havent tried full reboot yet
NB (did not install .734 beta)
They seem to be OK in the latest photo (1.9.0.767)..I have attached comparative screen shots as below:
The set is in Resources if you want to install them...here
