Hi everyone,


I'm having a problem that I can't solve!
I used to be able to select a brush that would start with let say red color and end in black! in one continuos line!
I thought it was the chinese brush! I can get the same effect any more! and Can't find out how to do it!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


thanks

Okay so I've been playing around and what I worked out is if I select the airbrush and have the smear at 50 percent it starts switching to black pretty quickly which is
exactly what I want!
But I can't get the chinese brush to do the same!

Well, in fact, you were experiencing a bug (it's hard to explain how it works, but trust me, it's a bug).

Anyway, if you need to create a brush having such a behavior, I advise you to create an anim brush.

Is there anyway to use a default brush like the chinese brush to have this behaviour? instead of making a new brush?

Huh, I don't remember if there is this kind of brush somewhere.

Which Chinese brush are you talking about ? The one by default in the Tool bin ?

yes the default one. I want to know whether I can create this behaviour with default brushes.

I think it is this brush set :

.

David, Maryam already answered she was talking about the default one in the Tool bin

I did download the brush set but how can I change their behaviour? so they start one color and gradually become another color!

1) choose your Chinese brush + color Red
2) create a project whose the size = custom brush
3) in the tool panel, disable all parameters : pression, shift, etc... everything must be just like if you had just cut the brush : 4) create as many instances as the anim brush has (in the current case : 150)
5) in the Anim parameters of the tool panel, choose "Start&Once"
6) with your mouse, click just once in the center of your first instance, in order to stamp the first image of your chinese brush
7) then, undo your click. Select all your instance 150, in my case, and press Enter on your keyboard, to stamp all images from your Anim brush on seperate instances. If you do everything properly, you should see then the animation of your custom brush in your timeline. open the FX stack > color > adjust color. Add a key at the begining, another key at the end and change the value "brightness" (-100%)
if you move in your timeline, the brush will slowly become black.
9) apply your FX on all instances
10) take the cut brush tool in the main panel
11) select all your instances
12) cut an anim brush
13) configure your new Chinese brush exactly like the other one (pressure, jitter, etc...)
14) enjoy.
