ESPR Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Today i tried to make a custom pixel brush for AD, after reading this article and using the image from the article, to try a three nozzle bristle brush. http://www.paololimoncelli.com/parametric-bristle-brush-model/ After i created the brush, i noticed certain settings keep resetting and there is no way to change them permanently. This happens every time i re-select the brush. Flow is one of them, and everything in the Dynamics section. So for example i set the Rotation to 100% and 'Direction', and when i come back to the brush it will be reset to 0% and None. Or the Wet Edges kept resetting to Off, no matter how many times i set them to On. Tried to create the same brush in AP and it was a bit better. Then after re-opening AD, two of the three brush nozzles had vanished. Also i noticed that Flow does not work. No matter how many times i keet drawing on the same spot, paint wouldnt build up. It only builds when i lift the mouse and continue drawing, but as far as i understand thats how Opacity behaves, not Flow. Now im wondering, is this behaviour a bug or am i doing something wrong ?

Staff Dan C Posted November 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi ESPR, Welcome to the forums Could you please confirm for me, how are you editing the brush? Once you've created & selected the brush in the Brush Studio, using the More options on the context toolbar will only change the brushes settings for the current session - meaning once you select another brush these changes are lost. If you wish to make permanent changes to a brush, please right-click on the brush in the Brushes Studio and select Edit Brush. Any changes made here will be permanent to the brush and will be kept after changing tool/brush. 2 hours ago, ESPR said: Also i noticed that Flow does not work.

This is covered in the below post, please note in Affinity brushes by default will not continue painting in a singular spot when the mouse is held down - you need to keep painting over the same spot for flow to take effect. I hope this helps!

Great, thanks ! I will check out the Opacity vs. Flow article later. Seems i got a few things wrong. Thanks again ! Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
