Brush tool loses shape

• Brush & tool add shape task stray anchor points

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me. I use a fully licensed version of Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 on OS X 10.9.5 and having a problem with the Brush tool and the brush of Blob.

  When drawing freehand with the brush or the blob Brush tool and make a curve it often (but not always) place anchor points in weird positions which means that I often get things once again, in which is annoying when it comes to a complex line. I thought at first it must be my Wacom pen but I tried with my mouse and the same thing happened. I have attached a screenshot that shows the problem. The line in the corner should be smooth, but instead, he created a strange bulge. As you can see that it does not happen with the pencil tool, so I guess it has something to do with how judges Illustrator where anchor points should appear when drawing freehand.

  I tried to change loyalty to 0, but it does not help.

  I would be very happy to help with this.

  Thank you very much

  GS,

  It's the Blob issue resolved by Kurt with the effect > Distort & Transform > Zig Zag (setting the size to ridges by Segment and from 0 to 100 (you can get away with less, but should not be)).

  In your version, it has probably been moved to the appearance (click on the announcement of the stroke) palette.

• Paint Brush tool vs. Pen: why both?

  Hi all

  I just downloaded CC. animate happy with most of the changes, but we really intrigues me: the paint brush tool.

  Not to be confused with the Brush tool (which is still to animate it) Unlike the brush, paint brush tool tool is not draw with lock fills, pressure and tilt sensitivity or brush modes (Normal, fills, behind, selection, inside).

  The closest relative of the paint brush tool is actually the pencil, with a few differences: it can make custom vector brushes and draw like fillings but missing modes of pencil.

  My question is: why have both? Why didn't the Animate team just to extend the functionality of the pencil tool to make custom vector brushes? That's backward compatibility? Ease of use? Technical constraints?

  It's a small complaint, but I find it strange that the pencil can do everything from the paint brush tool can do with just an additional command. (You can change a pencil line vector brush in the properties panel, after it is drawn, and you can change a pencil line to a fill to change-> menu form)

  Anyone want to tell me?

  The paint brush tool is essentially the pencil, with 3 differences

  1. With the Brush tool, you can draw with brushes vector art from the library of the brush. (Object drawing mode will be fixed to) You can't do that with the pencil tool directly; Instead you have to draw a line, select it, and then apply a vector art brush in the menu dropdown style in the properties panel. (Note: you need to double click brushes vector art found in window--> library brush before they are added to the drop-down list Style)
  2. With the Brush tool, you can draw as fills or lines using the draw as fill the checkbox in the properties panel. You can do it with the pencil as well, but you will need to draw the line, select it, then click on change--> form--> convert lines in fillings to do the same thing.
  3. The overall behavior of the paint brush tool acts like a hybrid between the smooth pencil tool and straighten modes. On the one hand, the paint brush tool creates optimized lines similar to the smooth pencil mode; on the other hand, it performs similar to the mode to straighten shape recognition. If you draw a rectangle, an arc or ellipse, Animate will convert your drawing an exact shape. Recognition of shape can be adjusted under Edit--> preferences--> drawing--> recognize the forms.

  In summary, the paint brush tool seems to be a new and improved pencil tool and the pencil tool is kept for legacy reasons. The paint brush tool is not the different modes as the pencil tool, but personally, I find the lines made with the paint brush tool to have tasks less problem than the pencil tool. The pencil tool creates lumpy line segments or hyper-redresse light arcs; the paint brush tool strikes a nice balance. With recognition of shape and Vector Art brushes added to the mix, the paint brush tool is an asset.

  So in conclusion: change your shortcut 'Y' for the paint brush tool.

• Brush tool Glitching?

  I don't know what went down in the months that I had not been using the Flash, but now my brush tool has problems. No matter if I use my mouse or my tablet, nothing changes. It's probably a setting I'm missing, but I've looked all over and couldn't not even find an answer via Google.

  First of all, when I opened my brush tool, all properties are grayed out. The only thing I can change is the brush shape and the fill color (which in fact does nothing):

  

  Then, when I try to draw with my mouse or my stylus, nothing appears on the screen, but my calendar shows something is there:

  

  Then when I click on the selected layer, or any where on the timeline in this layer, the line I drew magically appears:

  

  But then when I try to draw on the screen again, or select any other layer, everything disappears again:

  

  What is going on!?

  I solved it. The problem was the fill Alpha was set to 0 and I did not know it.

  It took me asking a person in real life to understand.

• Selection of lines and striking Ctrl z BLOB Brush tool

  I did research for this response, but I'm afraid it's too specific.  Basically, in Illustrator Windows 7 is now the CTRL key is a shortcut to the selection tool when a person is using the blob Brush tool. (among others also)  This means that if my cursor never flat on a line when I hit undo (ctrl + z) he also selects the line because I hit the CTRL key.  That is to say after the initial cancellation, I also have my cursor to another place where there is no line and press the control key to deselect the line that this is highlighted when I hit ctrl + z.

  I know this isn't a big deal, but having to move your cursor whenever you want to undo a mistake is really boring.  By selecting the shape is not perform my drawing, but I prefer not to have a set of highlighted lines while I paint.

  Is it possible to select line segments when you hold the CTRL key, can I stop Illustrator?

  I think my formulation was weird and I think that's why I couldn't find the answer.  Only by highlighting the lines, not selecting them and I was able to extinguish under view > guides.

  This problem is solved.

  Although for reference, if anyone is curious, this was my problem.

• Help with the Brush tool!

  Hi all

  I am very new to Illustrator.  I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGOeuEsgDrI.  I managed to make the wreath a style brush but when I create an ellipse with no filling/brush stroke and hit my created Crown brush, leaves extends around the border, but the circle is blackened (filled).  It is a different result that the tutorial where the leaves are the border and there is no fill.  When I choose other paint tools, such as the banner (it looks like a Ribbon), it behaves as the tutorial shows and the Center is not filled (as does the Crown Brush tool.  Please refer to the following screen shot, in comparing the two.

  

  Thanks for any help that you could provide!

  When you created the stem you probably had a fill that are associated with him. This caused it to fill with black when you assigned him to a circle.

  If you still have the original work used to create the branch, select only the stem and make sure that it is set to "no fill". Then option-do the work dragging the brush in the Panel icon shapes. This will update the work with the new art. Simply register and select "update to work. Your circle will now be hallow.

  If you do not have the original work, drag the icon of the brush on the artboard, remove center line filling and updating the art of the brush.

• How can I increase my height of the brush (Brush Tool)?

  I can't increase the size of the brush, I can't use this method only with the pencil tool. How can I use the Brush tool?

  When you select the brush, the lower part of the tool palette tool change and to show you options for the drawing object, Lock fill, brush Mode, brush size and brush shape, read from top to the bottom of the options. You see them?

• How can I change the size of the race for the Brush tool?

  Hey guys,.

  I wanted to know how to set the size of the race for the Brush tool? It seems I can only fix the pencil too race size. All suggestions are useful!

  Thank you

  When you select the Brush tool there are two points that appear at the end of the tools.  One is for the size of the brush, the other is for the shape of the brush.

  Something else to vary the size of the brush over is a zoom before or zoom out of the scene.  Size of the brush does not fit so if you do very small step the brush becomes very large comapratively.

• Brush sometimes loses the dynamics of the form of a sudden

  My brush sometimes loses momentum in the form of a sudden, so I get a blob in paint and then it continues with the work of shape dynamics.  I don't know where to start looking to solve this problem.  I use Windows7 Open active Gl CS5 and have my cache and memory higher than the standard recommendations in the cases where this rule is part of the problem.

  Any ideas to fix this?

  Thank you.

  This is the case, I think, where you really don't want pilots to be up-to-date.

  Something very similar to what you state is shown here from time to time.  Workaround seems to be to go to the Wacom site and download slightly older drivers 6.15.

  I hope it works for you.

• Problems of brush tools

  I am creating a cover, and I shot a picture of fire (with a layer mask) on the top of my image of a man. Then, I searched my brush tool, double checked to ensure that it was black and white and then tried to go on the man's face, so I see it, instead of the flames. However, when I start by dragging the cursor on the face, the Brush tool starts getting lines across my cover, so the flames in odd places.

  Why the Brush tool is 'paint' on its own? I messed up a setting? I'm not press shift. I can't think of any other reason they would do that.

  Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

  Wow, I just closed and reopened in Photoshop, and when I went back to my image, it worked!

• Photoshop canvas make errors while using the Brush tool.

  I searched google for solutions to my problem, but could not find any results. There is a screenshot of the included below number.

  This problem occurs when you use the Brush tool in Photoshop 2015.1.2 version. Areas rasterized, you see in the image below temporarily appear. If I change the scale of the preview of the Web, the problem goes away and the image appears correctly. I tried to change/disable the GPU settings but nothing has changed. I use a Tablet Wacom Intros 5 and I have the problem with the Tablet and mouse.

  I work in OSX El Capitan.

  Any ideas as to causes or solutions to this problem? Thank you.

  

  Update your driver from the website of the manufacturer of the GPU video card.

• Brush tools like: spacing is always 25% per script
