For the Incandescence1 setting, move the slider to the right and stop
midway.

the paint has an incandescent glow.
Smearing and blurring
In the next steps youll smear and blur the paint on Dino. Smearing with a
Paint Effects brush blends adjacent colors together along the stroke path.
Blurring softens the edges of adjacent colors by averaging their color values.
To smear and blur with Paint Effects brushes
1 Move the Visor window back into view.
2 Click the wetInWet folder and then click the cleanWaterDrip.mel brush.
Close the Visor window.
In the 3D Paint Tool settings, under Paint Operations settings, observe
that the Paint Operation is now set to Paint Effects Smear. The brush you
selected, cleanWaterDrip, has settings that turn on the Smear setting
automatically for you.
3 Paint across the side of Dino. The paint smears and produces an effect
similar to dripping wet paint.
