Control stroke brush pressure on canvas


Recommended Posts

Currently the pressure of the stroke's brush can be configured in a separate panel as seen in the attached image.

 

Especially for more complex curves I find it very hard to adjust the graph in the panel to correctly match the segments of the curve. It would be really great to have a tool that shows the control points of the pressure graph directly on the canvas next to the spline so that the thickness of the path can adjusted in an immediate feedback loop. I imagine the controls something like in the second attached file.

Just sth I found out the other day: Right clicking on those curve points deletes them. IMO, wasn't so obvious to me... ;)

 

About the suggestion, yep, that would be faster.

 

Although am quite more into the efforts of improving the actual brush engine, so I'd do that just inking naturally.

I meant, right clicking on a dot in the pressure curve editor, actually deletes that dot.

I'd love to see improvements on this widget for future versions.

  • An "unbound stroke endings" option, to have an independent control over starting and ending points of my curve.
  • The possibility to manipulate single point interpolation, to create easily for example a "sawtooth" profile.

Also I think that a direct manipulation tool on canvas would be an awesome addition, not only for size, but for opacity and colour too.

This could cover much more advanced workflows.

 

Somebody long time ago asked the possibility to have an "analytic input" fo this curve too...

I remember some developers liked this.  :)

MattP said he intends to do something like this suggestion but it will probably be 10x better, he's so Chingon... Can't wait for this!
