Recording Brush Strokes
Use User
mode to record and play back a series of paint strokes. Only the
positions of the brush strokes are recorded. This means that you
cannot change the brush type, current colour, or brush attributes
while recording the strokes. You can, however, change or animate
these parameters after you finish recording and before you play
back the strokes.
TipYou can also play paint strokes created
by converting objects (write-ons).
To
record a series of brush strokes:
- Click
AutoPaint and select User from the AutoPaint Mode box.
- Set
the brush characteristics so that you can see the recorded brush
strokes on your image.
NoteThe strokes you paint are recorded as a
series of points or stamps of the brush. The number of strokes is
determined by dividing the number of points by the number of frames.
The quality of the rendered strokes depends on the number of recorded
points. To record a larger number of points, select a small brush
size.
- Enable
Record.
- Begin
painting on the image.
The position of each brush stroke is recorded,
and the stroke count appears in the message bar.
- To
stop recording, click below the timebar.
All paint strokes applied to the image while
recording are removed from the image and the number of strokes is
recorded.
NoteAutoPaint stores only one set of recorded
paint strokes at a time. If you record another set of paint strokes,
you lose your previously recorded strokes.
