Roll brush with vector pen?

[kirkr5689]

Now with that vector pen  can we do  a "roll" brush   like in Zbrush  or 3d coat.     I mean  a very long image  of something that would roll  out and deform smoothly   along a spline UV .   Not a small  shifting slices blurring one into next one?       I have very hi res  and good looking non repeating crack and seams brushes in Zbrush  and  always something much blurrier in Painter.   

Have anyone ever managed to do  it in Designer?

Hi @kirkr5689,

The Path Tool doesn't have the same feature as the Roll option in Zbrush. The Path works like the Paint brush, but applied on an editable curve. Therefore, in the brush settings you'll have to activate the Follow Path option and tweak between the Size and the Spacing.

With that being said, the result won't be as smooth as the Roll option from Zbrush.

Best regards,

Thank you Cyril for making it clear

BTW, can we use spline mapper  from Designer .  I mean as a special sbsar to just drop an image on a spline. I seem can't figure out how to get spline input  from Painter ? Is it also impossible?
