chinese brush problem

[djsolomon]

In the last few weeks since i have had version 10 one of my faovite new brushes is
the chinese brush... it s very expressive and non digital looking but for some reason
though I press the reset button it does not go back to the brush i was used to using.

I have posted the brush marks below it has assumed a 3 d look or when on loop a dashed line ( it seems that when the inner animation in the brush stops then it becomes 3d ) is this a settings issue? not sure what the problem is...

these are the settings i get when i select "chinese brush" from the tool bin

make sure you copy these settings:

it looks like you have somehow set anim to "loop" instead of "speed"
and colormode to "color" instead of "smear"

Hi Peter thanks - no that didnt fix the problem
the icon for the brush ( next to edit button ) is no longer animating
when the brush is being used - i think this is causing the stroke to be like the
ones at the bottom of the jpeg i posted - the strokes look 3d
and ( ahem..) turdlike? sorry...

anyway thanks for trying to help out
my best debby

Hi Debra,

It comes from a reset of the brush settings, and it would be hard to find the right values/parameters/profiles to use to get the original rendering.

But don't you find the brush back to its default settings when you click on its icon in the tool-bin panel ?

I can post the brush with the good settings in a .tvpx file if required.

I tested this and can verify that it doesn't work and I never ever even tried out the Chinese brush.

Paul, Debra,

I'm perplex :
About which tool/option are you speaking ? Please can you post a screenshot of the panel, containing the icon of the tool ?
Indeed, the "shape" of this animbrush is used in the v9.5 and the v10, while the parameters and so the corresponding rendering are completely different.

Hi Fabrice and Paul...

This brush worked very well and was quite beautiful . Not sure what happened...

That's the one I tried out -- all it does is creates these turds -- Debra has been experiencing -- I never got it to actually draw.

The 3d effect ruins it , when this brush creates
A flat stroke it is very lovely and totally non
Digital ...

I just tried it (also never knew it was there) but it works for me. So I am no help.


Just tried it again after resetting and it turned blue and chunky..as is painting on a hard paper.... but the paper is not on.

definitely in the reset button. If you then activate the tool again in Farbice's Tools, it returns.

I think the brush just crashed tvp- was making some sample lines to show you Sandra...

if you can see them - top is after I hit the reset button weird blue chalky line..- next ones were after I checked "speed"

my chinese brushes worked wonderfully for 2 weeks too!!! thats why i miss this brush...

Hi Fabrice, I should have responded to your offer before..." my bad "
could you post this brush? that would be wonderful.Not sure how I would get it
so maybe explain that...?
many thanks
