Brush Scale controls the spacing between
individual dabs in the rake. Higher Brush
Scale settings spread the dabs. Top=2500%,
bottom=0%.
To set brush scale:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Rake.
2 Move the Brush Scale slider right
to bring the scale closer to equaling
the dab width.
When the scale is 100%, the stroke
width equals the dab width times
the number of dabs.
3 Move the slider left to cause dabs
to overlap.
When the scale is less than 100%,
the dabs overlap. Overlapping dabs
create a natural, subtle stroke
when used with Turn Amount and
Soften Bristle Edge.
Turn Amount
When you turn a real brush to paint a
curve, bristles at the edges move in
and out of contact with the painting
surface, depending on the brush’s
location on the curve (inside or
outside).
Turn Amount simulates this bristle
displacement.
The Turn Amount slider controls the
displacement of inside and outside bristles.
Top=0%, bottom=150%.
To set bristle displacement:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Rake.
2 Move the Turn Amount slider
right to increase how much the
displacement changes are based on
the direction of the brush.
3 Move it left to decrease how much
the displacement changes are
based on the direction of the
brush.
Bristle
The Bristle controls set the number of
bristles or dabs used for Multi and
Rake stroke types.
To set bristle number:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Rake.
2 Move the Bristle slider right to
increase how many bristles are in
the brush. Move it left to decrease
the number.
