Custom Brush Smoothing Performance Bug?

[TheQuestionMark]

I think there's a bug in the Custom Brush. Why is that when using smoothing on Best it lags and my computer slow down like crazy. But if you switch on Projection and Best Smoothing it doesn't slow down. Shouldn't Smoothing Best with Projection slow down your system more? I think there's a way performance boost to Tvpaint when using Custom Brush with Smoothing Best. Can you make a copy the code in Projection but yet turn off the Projection to boost performance when using Smooth Best?

i cannot replicate the issue you describe.

if i switch both best AND projection tvp gets even slower.
do you still have this issue?

be aware that best is not always the right choice to get best results.
often Medium is the better choice, and tvpaint has it easier with it.
also adding a step value can help to speed up drawing response

Is there a way to export your brush to show? I'm not getting any slow down when Projection is On. Is it the size of the brush?
