As both human and the nature of the graphics tablet, when we drag, there is no way we can avoid some movement being registered as an opposite direction on both axis. The problem is, what happens when we drag towards Up-Left or Down-Right? The app can't make up its mind to whether increase or decrease the brush size, but can only dance back and forth. Now in Krita 5.0, we can Shift + Draw all directions to change the brush's size, with Up/Left being increase, Down/Right being decrease in size. Previously in Krita 4.x, we can only Shift + Drag Left/Right to change the brush's size. I think the problem lies in a recent change that allows it to Shift + Drag all directions. It keeps jittering about its size, very hard to control, and feels very buggy. If you need more guidance I’ll be happy to help you out.Krita 5.0's Shift modifier to change brush size is not behaving correctly. TODO for release: Tune for recent 2.8 changes, make an easy render script (just run an enjoy type of script) and documentation. gih files inside “Brush” folder in Krita’s shared folder of the same name and Copy the contents of “Presets” folder contents into the shared folder with the same name.ĭo not copy Catalogs, symbols or pullshaper.tcl.
$ tclsh pullshaper.tcl catalogs/deevad* -s 250 -n “Pullshape deevad shapes” deevad_shapes.gihīrush Tips come with spacing fixed, to alter the spacing set the option “-spacing” (default is 100). $ tclsh pullshaper.tcl file1.svg file2.svg -s 64 -n “Pullshape 2 catalogs in one” 2_catalogs.gih To get a tip with more than one catalog in it just list them both before the options. You can do a different tip for each shape, or combine different sets, or combine them all. The last bit is the name of the gih file to get.Īfter the script is finished running you will have “antenas_test.gih” in the current folder. default is 64, which is good for small pieces, but for bigger images this could be as generous as 1200px (the square size) n defines the name the file it will appear on krita (for the brush tip) $ tclsh pullshaper.tcl catalogs/test_antenas.svg -s 250 -n “Antenas test” antenas_test.gih To make a new brush tip: in a terminal from the pullshaper folder: kpp files are fixed and are meant to be used with the tips made. The maker allows to transform the “catalog” contents into brush tips (. So I made the script to allow render of shapes into brush tips. I was planning to get the file bigger for better high resolution work, but the files were becoming very large. The package already provides a brush tip in the brushes folder called “all_shapes.gih” Its a pull shaper with all the shapes. The symbols are the source files I used to create the preset preview, so its not really that important. Catalog contains all the source shapes, this will be used by the script. The other folders ,catalog and symbols, are the library. The contents you have to get into the share folder of krita are Brushes, for the different brush tips, and Presets, for the different presets. It’s been a while, and been very busy to finish this as it is supposed to be finished =/ Here some instructions to get the brushes up and running. The files I have so far ready for testing can be reviewed here: But, with some familiarity it’s possible to create a new set in less than 5 minutes. It’s not fool proof as it needs the svg to be saved in a certain way. The maker is a script to transform svg shapes to gih brush ready to load in krita/gimp. As there comes a new addition to this brush set and needs some documentation: The Maker
– Spacing or “rate” of shapes is controlled by speed and scattering. No opacity: Pressure only changes Size.
Declination: Declination changes size, pressure Opacity.Normal: Pressure changes size and Opacity.kpp preset varies on how the shapes are delivered.
This time I changed how pullshapes are presented. A little help on the design is welcomed.As for the brush “pack”. Using the chemistry theme as the brushes come from Alchemy., but I’m not sure they are clear at all.
