Technical Brush Question, PSCS2

[Shep123]

I was curious whether anyone has a solution to something that has kept me stumped for months now.

I'm trying to create a custom brush that rotates as you draw across the canvas. I want a very uniform rotation, so angle jitter will not suffice. I can get the swatch to appear how I want it to in the brushes palette (see screenshot:

Anyone know of a setting I'm missing that would explain why I shouldn't be able to get this brush to function the way it's displayed in the brush control palette? I get the same results with a tablet and a mouse.

Hey Shep123, I moved your thread to the Photoshop forum, where hopefully some people can help you.

Shep123 - Set the angle control to 'Fade' and specify a number of steps. Several hundred should be comfortable depending on your brush spacing and the rate of rotation you require. Unfortunately you cannot rig a brush that rotates indefinitely.

Hope this helps

Yup, Snarfevs is correct. Just use a large Steps value and start a new stroke when the rotation stops.

Thanks for the help everyone. And I apologize for starting this in the wrong forum. I had stumbled across the fade fix myself, but was hoping that there was an option to create a continuous line. Looks like it will have to be a tedious process.

Lordofthebling: To answer your question, it is a wacom Intuous 2 that i work on.
