Wait! Some further tests show it is still happening, even on smear brushes that have no parameter changes, usually darkened colors

Re: smear brush.

OK, another oddity, it seems to just be with the large paintbrush, I don't see this with the other smear brushes (the top one is a regular smear paint brush, the second a large paint brush). The fade to black is happening even over top of other colors, resulting in an ugly black spot. This only happens with a brighter color as the first and a duskier color for the second. So maybe something with that brush is acting strange?

It should be improved in the next coming build : 10.0.7, even if not perfect yet. :)

I'm just checking; was this problem eventually fixed?
Because here it still occurs in 'smear source' mode, but not in 'smear' mode. (I'm using version 10.0.11)

Thanks Elodie,
Btw, this 'Smear' mode is a great feature, I find. I can see a lot of possibilities in simulating real paint with this one.

Hi,

I made the original post about a year ago and tried the smear brushes again
on the latest build. However, the problem seems to still be there. :(
Even though smear produces a nice result a lot of the time, it's too unpredictable
as to what result you are going to get.

I eventually bought manga studio at 49$, which has an excellent paint blending
engine. I'm still temtped by tvpaint's excellent animation and storyboarding tools,
but will need to save up a bit more.

I can't reproduce it :o

Can you share the brush parameters ?

It's actually an old problem, which is very hard to fix (and actually hard to explain). It depends on the brush, Anti Aliasing, opacity level, etc.

EDIT (Fabrice) : & processor rounding algorythm

Ahh, OK. Thanks for the update, I will proceed with this in mind.
