Brush Creator: Stroke¶
Size¶
Max Size (px) - Set the maximum size per brush in pixels (10-700).
Size Jitter - Specify how the size of brush stamps varies in a stroke up to (but not exceeding) the size value specified in the Properties panel (0-100):
Pen Pressure - Set how the size of the brush should be influenced by the pressure of the tablet pen (-100 - 100). Negative values will invert the pressure results:

Open Curve Editor - Open the Curve
Editor to adjust how the pressure of the stylus influences various
settings of the brush.
Note
When a change has been made in the Curve Editor, the slider for the setting will be grayed out and the curve settings will be used.
Curve Editor: Size - Edit the Pen
Pressure curve for the size of the brush. If you make a linear curve,
the size of the stroke will grow linearly with the pressure of your
tablet pen.
With the curve on the left, the size of
the stroke will tend to be closer to the minimum size of your drawing
tool, unless you apply a lot of pressure on your tablet pen.
The curve on the left will make the size of the stroke be closer to the
maximum size of your drawing tool unless you apply very little pressure
on your tablet pen.
Tip Tilt - Set the tilt sensitivity of the brush (0-100). Tilt
allows shading just like a real pencil when the stylus is tilted at an
angle. Click the button
to open the Tip Tilt Curve Editor
where you can adjust the curve for the width and height of the brush
stroke when using the tilt of the stylus. Below are examples of various
tip tilt curves:
1. Tip Tilt Disabled - The curve below shows the inactive tip tilt, the height of the brush stroke does not change with the tilt of the stylus:
2. Large Height - The more you tilt your stylus, the larger the height of the brush stroke will be. It works the same way as if you used a pencil in the traditional painting, the more you tilt it, the larger the area you are going to paint with:
3. Small Height - The more you tilt your stylus, the smaller the height of the brush stroke:
4. Large Width - When the stylus is in the perpendicular position to the trajectory of the stroke (in the example below it is the stroke going from the bottom left to the upper right), there is no change in size. When the stylus is in line (parallel) to the trajectory of the stroke (the stroke going from upper left to bottom right), the size of the stroke is going to increase:
5. Small Width - When the stylus is in the perpendicular position to the trajectory of the stroke (in the example below it is the stroke going from the bottom left to the upper right), there is no change in size. When the stylus is in line (parallel) to the trajectory of the stroke (the stroke going from upper left to bottom right), the size of the stroke is going to decrease:
Use precise Tip Tilt - Activate this
option to eliminate issues with brush stepping when Tip Tilt brush
feature is used at a cost of performance.
The picture on the left shows an example of the precise tip tilt
setting.
The 'Use precise Tip Tilt' is activated on the stroke on the left and
deactivated on the stroke on the right.
Opacity¶
Opacity - Set the multiplier for the opacity (1-100x). Set the opacity of the custom brush (1-100). Overlapping parts of the brush stamps will build up additional opacity.
Non-linear Opacity - If this setting is disabled, the
Loading/Opacity slider changes the opacity of the brush linearly.
When enabled, the opacity multiplier has a more pronounced effect on the Loading/Opacity slider (as it was in Rebelle 6).
Opacity Jitter - Specify how the opacity of paint varies in a brushstroke, up to (but not exceeding) the opacity value specified on the Opacity slider (0-100):
Pen Pressure - Set how the opacity of the brush should be influenced by the pressure of the tablet pen (-100 - 100). Negative values will invert the pressure results:
Open Curve Editor - Open the Curve
Editor to adjust how the pressure of the stylus influences various
settings of the brush.
Curve Editor: Opacity - Edit the Pen Pressure curve for the opacity of the brush. It works similarly to the curve editor for the size of the brush, only the opacity is influenced. If you make a linear curve, the opacity of the stroke will grow linearly with the pressure of your tablet pen.
Spacing¶
Spacing - Control the distance between the brush stamps (1-200). Each brush stamp is spaced apart along the stroke by a set value. Value 100 is equal to the actual full size of the brush stamp:
Spacing Jitter - Randomized spacing (0-100):
Scatter - Brush scattering randomizes the placement of brush stamps in a stroke up or down relative to the baseline of the stroke (0-100):
Smudge Scatter Mode - Choose between Parallel and
Perpendicular smudge scatter modes:
Parallel - This mode smudges the
scattered brush stamps parallel to the direction of the brush stroke.
Perpendicular - This mode smudges
the scattered brush stamps perpendicular to the direction of the brush
stroke.
Smudge - Select whether the brush stamp of the wet media (oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink pen) should be smudged or not. When the Smudge is active, the brush stamps are smudged together to reduce the appearance of the individual marks.
Smudge on Paper Bumps - Enable this option to smudge the lines in the stroke on paper bumps when painting quickly or when changing the pressure:
Open Curve Editor - Open the Curve
Editor for the 'Smudge on Paper Bumps' option to adjust how the
pressure of the stylus or the speed of painting influences how
the strokes smudge on paper bumps.
Smudge Density - Control the brush stroke density detail when the Smudge is used. The higher the value, the more detailed the brush stroke is but painting becomes slower for larger brushes:
The default value is set to '60'. When Smudge Density is set to '90', the splats are rendered on canvas with a distance of a maximum of 1 pixel, which is the recommended high-quality detail. When Smudge Density is set over '90', the splats are rendered on canvas with a distance of less than 1 pixel.
