Stroke

../../_images/sculpt-paint_brush_stroke_stroke-panel.png

Stroke panel.

Stroke Method E

Defines the mode brush strokes are applied to the sail.

Dots

Apply paint on each mouse movement step.

Drag Dot

Leaves just ane dab on the canvas which can be placed by dragging.

Infinite

Creates brush stroke equally a series of dots, whose distance (spacing) is determined by the Spacing setting.

Spacing

Represents the percentage of the brush radius.

Limits castor application to the distance specified by spacing.

Airbrush

Flow of the brush continues as long as the mouse click is held (spray), adamant by the Charge per unit setting. With other methods the castor but modifies the colour when the brush changes its location. This pick is non bachelor for the Grab sculpting brush.

Rate

Interval between paints for airbrush.

Anchored

Creates a single dab at the brush location. Clicking and dragging will resize the dab diameter.

Edge to Edge

The brush location and orientation are determined by a 2 betoken circumvolve, where the commencement click is one point, and dragging places the second point, opposite from the first.

Line

Clicking and dragging lets you define a line in screen space. The line dabs are separated by Spacing, like to space strokes. With Alt the line stroke is constrained to 45 degree increments.

Curve

Defines the stroke curve with a Bézier curve (dabs are separated according to Spacing). Utilise Ctrl-RMB to create the initial control point of the curve.

Paint Curves

Stroke Curves are reusable and can be stored and selected by using the Data-Block Menu menu.

Add Points

Yous tin define additional curve control points by using Ctrl-RMB . The handles tin can exist divers by dragging the mouse. The stroke flows in the direction of the kickoff control signal to the second control signal. If some other command signal is added after the second control point, instead of extending information technology from the kickoff command point in a dissimilar management, it will get the initial command betoken, and thus the stroke still flows in the direction of the first to the second.

Transforming Points

The control points and handles tin exist dragged with LMB. To make certain that the handles of a control point are symmetrical, elevate them using Shift-RMB . A few transform operators are supported such as moving, scaling and rotating.

Selection

The handles can be selected individually by using RMB, extend the selection past Shift-RMB and deselect/select all by using A.

Delete Points X

To delete a curve point, use X.

Depict Curve Return

To confirm and execute the curved stroke, press Render or use the Depict Bend button.

Spacing Altitude Sculpt Fashion Only

Method used to summate the distance to generate a new brush step.

View

Calculates the brush spacing relative to the view.

Scene

Calculates the brush spacing relative to the scene using the stroke location. This avoids artifacts when sculpting across curved surfaces.

Accommodate Forcefulness for Spacing

Attenuate the brush strength according to spacing. Available for the Infinite, Line, and Curve stroke methods.

Dash Ratio

Ratio of samples in a cycle that the brush is enabled. This is useful to create dashed lines in texture paint or stitches in Sculpt Mode. Available for the Infinite, Line, and Bend stroke methods.

Dash Length

Length of a dash bicycle measured in stroke samples. This is useful to create dashed lines in texture paint or stitches in Sculpt Mode. Available for the Space, Line, and Curve stroke methods.

Jitter

Jitter the position of the brush while painting.

Jitter Pressure level

Castor Jitter can exist affected past enabling the pressure sensitivity icon, if you are using a Graphics Tablet.

Jitter Unit

Controls how the brush Jitter is measured.

View

The Jitter is measured based on how the cursor appears on the monitor i.e. "screen infinite".

Scene

The Jitter is measured based on real world units. The unit of measurement type and scaling can be configured in the Scene Units.

Input Samples

Recent mouse locations (input samples) are averaged together to smooth brush strokes.

Stabilize Stroke

Stabilize Stroke makes the stroke lag behind the cursor and applies a smoothed curve to the path of the cursor. This tin be enabled temporary past holding Shift-Southward while painting or permanently by clicking the checkbox found in the header.

Radius

Sets the minimum distance from the last signal before stroke continues.

Factor

Sets the corporeality of smoothing.
