The Brush Creator
The Brush Creator helps to make it
fun and easy to create brush variants
in Corel Painter.
This chapter provides descriptions
and procedures for building,
customizing, and saving the many
parameters of any brush type using
the Brush Creator.
Customizing Brushes
The Corel Painter brushes are
adjustable in a myriad of ways. In fact,
the default variants in the libraries on
the Brush selector bar are built with
the same set of controls used to build
every other variant. They’ve just been
adjusted until the results emulate a
real-life drawing tool.
Although these default brushes do
excellent work, you’ll probably want
to adapt them to your particular
needs, refining them to fit your own
style of working. You can change Size,
Shape, Angle, Flow, and much, much
more.
Changes you make to brush variants,
including basic controls, like Size and
Opacity, are saved until the Restore
Default Variant command is selected.
Corel Painter also allows you to save
custom brushes as the default, as new
variants, or as Looks.
Using the Brush Creator
The Brush Creator provides controls
for customizing and creating brush
variants. The Brush Creator is
integrated tightly with Corel Painter,
but contains its own tools, palettes,
menus, and workflow. The user
interface of the application changes
depending on whether you are using
the main application or the Brush
Creator.
