See size of brush or tool as circle cursor

[Mads Juul]

I think it could be a help if you could see the size of your tool on the size of your cursor as a circle

this means to draw with the cursor as the red outline , just like when when I resize tool with z(metaResizeTool)
something like this(without the yellow lines of course. it is only the red circle I want to show)

Definitely!

I'm not quite sure: wasn''t it this way in a former version?

don't think so, but you can choose circle for cursor in the preferences, that circle is always the same size though.

[Elodie]

Yes it does :

Edit => Preferences => Interface => Cursor => Circle

[Peter Wassink]

No it doesn't:

... if you could see the size of your tool on the size of your cursor as a circle...

[Elodie]

It doesn't if your tool's size is connected to the pressure. Try with "none"

Ah, that explains it, but leaves me a bit unsatisfied. I could live with a circle depicting the largest range of the current tool, though.

But - my preferences only give me Cross, Arrow and Point - no Circle at all! Is that Mac-specific?

?
with none i still get the same circle cursor with fixed size and no correlation to my brush size?

So use the point option (sorry, I'm using the French version and I though the English translation was Circle)

Start again : use the POINT cursor, not the circle.

Concerning the circle (and other cursors), it's a feature only available on PC. If you want to have those options on your Mac, please ask Eric

Possibly this can't be true??

I can't prove it, but I'm quite sure that former versions of TVP on Mac have had that circle, or my mind plays tricks on me. Anyway, such a circle cursor can't be that complicated to implement.

[Elodie]

There are Mac and PC enough at TVPaint to tell you : yes, the circle is an option only available on PC

... until the contrary proof

[Svengali]

On the PC, you can momentarily switch to mouse which displays the pen at maximum size, then switch back to stylus... if that's any help.

I would like a cicle curser that diplay the maximum size of the current brush as an outline. always. with the stylus and with pressure sensitivity on

hmmm ... a circle ? why not the brush outline itself ?
I'm thinking about inbuilt brushes (airbrush, pen, ...) but also for CustomBrushes as well, (or at least a bounding box for CB).
This feature, displaying fullsize brush's outline (or bounding box) even with stylus and when Size connected to Pressure, could be an option, (enable/disable in the Preference panel), or just activated via a special key.
