Increase / decrease brush size

Are there other ways to increase/decrease brush size?

Because...

Code: Select all

Tools Brush: Increase size
Tools Brush: Decrease size
= too slow

Code: Select all

Brush: Double size
Brush: Halve size
= too fast

(and 'Halve' should be spelt 'Half')

I don't have a mouse, I work with a Cintiq and a Magic Trackpad.

If I set them to scroll it doesn't change brush size, it changes the frame of my anim brush :(

I don't understand.

The Z on my keyboard?

There's no shortcut bound to my Z...should there be one? Which one?

Yes, you should have a hotkey to [z]. It allows you to define the size of your brush, just like in the videos I posted yesterday (in the topic about After Effects :wink: )

Resize drawing tool with Z

Do you remember what the key Z does when using a custom brush ? Yes, it resizes your custom brush. Now, with TVPaint Animation 10, you can do the same with any drawing tool (except mechanical and text tools, of course).

This still doesn't work here.

I don't get a circle, I get a square showing my anim brush (even if I'm actually using the PenBrush) which I can resize from the bottom right corner.

[Z] + custom brush : rectangle to resize.
[Z] + any tool : circle to resize.

It doesn't matter, no ?

Whatever tool I'm using, I always get the custom brush with rectangle :(

for which version ?
I've the same behavior as the others here, (tvpa v10.0.18 32bit),
[Z] only modify my (last) custombrush, not my (current) Pen brush, airbrush and so.
:?

Because of the color mixing problems, I'm still using TVPAnimation10 Pro 10.0.9 where resizing brush (rectangle) and other tools (circle) work as Fabrice indicated. Something's happened in more recent updates.

I have to say that like the others, z behaves like this: when I am using any tool (for example, pen brush) it simply shows the custom brush and resizes it, then when I let it go my tool is back with the same size, so, no - there is no circle indicating resizing and tool is not rezised accordingly. This, for some reason, is not working for me, are you sure it's working on your machines, guys? Maybe is like Sven indicates is due to update?
