Alpha Difference

[Fabrice]

ok, I will try tomorrow with naturalSketch.tvpx

Fabrice,
Any luck with mixing alpha max with alpha difference in the pencil brush?
It seems to me that it would take some 'under the hood' work...

[Fabrice]

opps, sorry, I was busy regarding various things at TVPaint.
I will do it tomorrow morning.

I would say this was a good challenge :

* The basic pencil pencil that Mark used didn't have the "Alpha max" option.
* The custom brush doesn't have the "noise" option.

I tried with the custombrush and made this (which is not perfect, as you can see)

But ok, we might better consider an option in the custombrush like adding noise or something like this.
Will see.

Or perhaps add paper settings to the custombrush. If the paper texture can be randomized it would be the greatest 'noise' effect we can have. And if we could upload our own paper texures in a setting like that then that would be absolutely fantastic!

[Elodie]

Sewie, I supposed I didn't understand you, because you can already use paper and custom brushes at the same time.

[Sewie]

I meant that it would be good to have the texture settings integrated into the custombrush panel.

[Elodie]

That's also the case (Or I really don't get the point )

[Sewie]

You are right, I am sorry.
Again, the TVP-team is way ahead of me!

It used to be so (in an older version) that whenever I used a custombrush I had to enable or disable the paper settings in the main panel, but I just tested it and now that happens automatically. Apparently that was a bug in an older version?

So forget I mentioned it.

Actually, if you grab a brush with colors, it keeps :
• A & B colors
• Paper information

If no paper was used when you grabbed your brush, paper information will automatically inactive the paper (if you were using a paper before) when you click on your grabbed brush.
If a paper was used when you grabbed your brush, paper information will automatically active the paper (or change it, if you were using a different paper) when you click on your grabbed brush.

If you grab a brush alone (no colors, no papers), then you'll keep only the shape and parameters of your brush and it won't change current colors or paper parameter each time you click on your grabbed brush.

I'm very happy to see that I'm not the only person interested in this!
I look forward to seeing whatever comes of it.
