Clarification about creating vector and pixel brushes


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Sort of a newbie question. I've viewed various members' online presentations about creating custom brushes. It seems that vector shapes, or masked bitmaps are required as the base for vector brushes that are created as intensity brushes. But in the pixel persona, one would be using just bitmaps that would replicate along the brush stroke.

 

Is this correct? 

 

Also, I supposing that the vector shape info is the only thing brought into the brush, and that color, opacity, and blending are modified after laying down the stoke.

 

Thanks to those who have donated brushes to the forum. They have been great to use. I'm having lots of fun and wasting a lot of time playing w. them.

When creating your own Vector brushes you will need to use bitmaps as it's not currently possible to create true vector brushes. You can specify to Stretch or Repeat the bitmap along the path when using a Vector Brush :)
