Expanded strokes have too many vertices / nodes around curves


AlsoCalvin

Recommended Posts

When enabling vector brush pressure with size variance set to 25% and above, and wide brush size, the curves produced after the Expand Stroke operation usually have way to many nodes around curves / corners. And often two nodes will be practically on top of each other, each with one handle in different direction. 

(I found similar problem in Illustrator CS6 as well)

Using Smooth afterward doesn't improve the situation much.

Hi Sean,

Attached the file. Thin stroke is not as bad.

It may be connected to my other post regarding starting point of stroke not rendered correctly when pressure is enabled, because when expanded the start of stroke will become a firework of nodes/vertices. And if no controller is enabled, so uniform brush width, this nodes Bonanza doesn't seem to happen.

Bonus Bug:

When stroke partially overlaps itself (for example at a sharp corner) sometimes it creates voids, which will be expanded as well. Image attached with red circle on the artifact (I also notice this in Illustrator CS6 so maybe it's a common vector problem).

Thank you.
