Simple brush ending problem in AD & AD beta

[angier]

Hey y'all

Does anyone else get this effect on plain rounded edge brushes in Designer? This brush ending problem is in both Designer 2 and Beta. See the attachments. The offset is set at 850 and 1150.
Maybe it's just me???

Also, has anyone figured out what the perfect margins and alpha size is for AD? I have blurring problems with some of my brushes so I tend to make my alphas pretty big. Any suggestions?

I think that’s a long standing bug and no solution I know of. Apparently the start and sop margins are ignored in cases like this. I’m not totally opposed to that behavior: you can make a neat design with some of the streaky brushes, but there needs to be an option for seamless join when you want to frame an object etc.

I guess I should say that there’s NO solution.. you can convert the shape to curves and split the curve at the gap (select the node and click the break icon) and that will mostly fix it. You may get an overlap but you might be able to twiddle with the settings to reduce it.  I don’t really consider it a solution because I want to keep my shapes as shapes sometimes, but it’s there.

Benfischer,

Thanks for the response. Wish the bug wasn't there on the start and stop margins. oh well.
We need a "start curve node here" button. I used to work in C4D. They had one so I know it's possible to add it.
