Exploring
new Brushes: Kaleiscope!
|
If you know PD Pro,
you know that it's all about brushes, and making your own custom
brushes, including multi-frame animated brushes. When you discover
Twistedbrush Pro Studio, you'll quickly realize that it has a different
approach, but one that is equally interesting and has intriguing
merits: T.B. presents many hundreds if not thousands of predefined
brushes of many many different types and categories. It's a trip just
to play and explore!
Here's a first-timer's look at some fascinating brushes which I found
in TBPS, in search of looking for some brushes that might be
particularly interesting or fun to use as part of animations.
|
Click the group B3 of brush collections.
|
Find a group like the Art Deco group
|
There are tons of sub-groups, or collections.
Try Cool and Crazy
|
Or Essentials - Wild Brushes - look at Natural Weathered log, Plastic
tube etc...
 |
|
Here's
one I don't even remember how I got it. One of the Kaleidoscopes, for
sure, but .... or Preset 3?
 |
Looks like thick rope.
 |
the Plastic Tube...
 |
Cartoon Stroke, Extra Bold - love it!
We'll have to explore this one some more.
 |
some type of red dimples or dots.... oh my.
 |
Ahhhh, the Kaleidoscope brush. Don't forget to stay on this one a
little and experiment with variations, other sizes and colors and more
options.
 |
...
and more Kaleidoscope brushes... so neat.
 |
This one looks a little like some type mexican desert food, but
without the sugar coating. |
And here's another Kaleidoscope.:
That last one we saved with transparency mask in a PNG file, so you can
save it and use it straight in a custom brush of PD.. Right-click the
image and save the PNG version. It is about 800 pixel wide!
|
|
Finally,
here's one from another gret category: the
Mandalas!
we will use those with the next feature, recording into an AVI while
you paint, to create a base animation that can be used in PD Pro as
animated brush or simply to create hallucigenic animations. Here's a
brief example:
