Image brush with changing patterns?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am using AD and am wondering, is there a way to import a image brush which usually uses different patterns in a random way?

 

A good example I've seen in photoshop is the hearts or butterfly brush which creates a simple butterfly in each application, and it has several varieties.

 

In my use case I use it to create background pattern effect on some promotional flyers. This brush really helps speed the process.

Best regards,

Veso

In the Pixel Persona, go to the Brushes panel and click on the 'hamburger' menu icon. Choose 'New Image Brush' or 'New Intensity Brush' (depending on whether you want a coloured 'nozzle' or a greyscale opacity map as in your example) and browse to the nozzle image/s that you want to use. To change the nozzles later on, double-click the brush in the Brushes panel, go to the Texture tab in the 'Brush - Editing' dialog and press 'Add' or 'Remove' as appropriate.

Also, after doing what Alfred said, also look at the brush settings menu for the new brush under the general and dynamics tabs to change size, rotation, x&y variation, etc.
