I’m trying to replicate a CSP brush I made recently, but for it to look right it requires a setting equivalent to “Blend brush tips with Darken” in CSP. Basically, it prevents the brush tips from stacking opacity on each other as they do by default when you randomize the spacing such that they intersect.
Is there an equivalent setting in Krita that I’ve missed? Examples below.
How it should look:
Splotchiness that results from overlaps:
I wonder if it’s the “dabs” - it also depends on which Krita brush engine you’re using.
Well, fuzzy dab provides the random spacing, but it then causes the opacity-stacking blotchiness.
To clarify, I’m looking for a setting that prevents the brush tips from stacking their opacity and thus causing these splotches (that is, the stroke maintains a consistent opacity despite brush tip overlaps).
The engine is just pixel engine, but if there’s another engine with such a setting, I’d just make the brush in that one, I’m all ears!
There’s fuzzy dab and fuzzy stroke. I don’t have a lot of experience with these 2 (and I might be way off base) but I watched a video from Ramon recently where he described how different these 2 sensors are, even though the name sounds the same. So if you tried just one, give the other a shot, too. The video is the 3rd in the Krita brush making series that just came out a few days ago.
From what I understand from my own testing, fuzzy dab randomizes the parameter per brush tip “stamped” (dab) and fuzzy stroke randomizes the parameter per stroke on the canvas.
The setting I’m looking for doesn’t really have to do with randomization though, rather the issue I’m trying to resolve is made evident once randomized spacing is turned on and the brush tips overlap irregularly.
Thank you for the suggestion, though!
Maybe your Krita brush Painting Mode is on Build up?
The Wash mode make that each brush dab in one contiguous stroke retain an even opacity. Is the example bellow what your want to achieve?
Huh that’s weird, I tried both of those already and just tested it again now, and I’m not getting that behavior.
This is weird. Can you test the brush with a fixed opacity of 25% - 50% to see if Wash Mode behaves as expected?
Also, what are the opacity settings of your brush? I think I notice a ‘bug’ with the Wash Mode. Let me exemplify bellow:
Using the Basic-2 Opacity with wider spacing.
Flow = Disabled. Opacity and Size options:
Apparently once the stroke reaches a certain maximum opacity, subsequent dabs are aplied in a build-up-like mode.
Weird 
Ahhh, flow seems to be the equivalent setting I was looking for actually, that was enabled still. Woops! 
That fixed it for my brush, thanks for the help!
That aside, I am observing the same weird behavior you discovered:
This might be a bug if it doesn’t work as expected. Can we discuss this buildup mode and opacity thing in separate thread and if possible report it?
