Place Elements
Place Elements is an effect designed to
automate the application of brush
dabs. It's particularly useful with the
Image Hose brush. For more
information on the Image Hose, refer
to “Using the Image Hose” on
page 334.
An example of Place Elements used with the
Image Hose.
Place Elements creates a virtual
sphere within the confines of a
selection rectangle. When the
selection is square, the sphere is
perfectly round; when the selection is
rectangular, the sphere is elongated or
flattened.
A number of points are created at
random locations on the sphere. The
points then seek to distance
themselves from each other, and a
brush dab is placed at each point.
Each dab’s appearance is adjusted
based on its location on the sphere.
