vector brush tool stoke ??

[ROBERT ALVAREZ]

having problem with vector brush tool

pick a brush that wide at start and ends in pointed width.

When I stroke the brush it all the same width

same when brush is pointed on both ends and wide in the middle.

Also problem when selection the dashed brush. Never see the dash stroke.

How to solve brushing what I pick instead of stoke that all the same width?

Aside from adjusting the Size Variants: at the certain brush you need to enable a "Pressure profile" at the stroke dialog:

[ROBERT ALVAREZ]

select a drawn brush shown with narrow pointed ends and center is wide.
on brush - document defaults brush width is 24px, size variance is 83%,
opacity variance is 0%.

do reset and got thru standard  profiles and stroke drawn  does not change on canvas
still same width from start to end. use design persona.

reinstall program?

can see the profile on the brush - document defaults dialog window change but not the one
drawn in the canvas. using window 7 pro

after playing around did manage to see canvas change when profile is change.

but do not understand why I can not just pick a brush that has narrow ends and wide
center, and just stroke the bush on the canvas and draw it like the selected brush is
show in the picture of brushes.
instead it is drawn showing an even width from start to end ??

Did you use a tablet or just a mouse to draw?

[ROBERT ALVAREZ]

have Wacom intudos pt s tablet

using this tablet in artrage software the pen works fine

can vary the brush in artrage by pressure on the tablet pen from small (thin) to heavy (large) brush stroke

Can you please check this settings?

[ROBERT ALVAREZ]

ok , I got it

I guess I thought that picking a brush you would not have to worry about pen pressure, just one stroke of even pressure and you

would get the brush you see.

Thanks for your help pixelpest.
