So, changing brush size in 99% cases need changing a texture size. Always looking it in brush properties doesn’t make much comfort.
Is it hard to implement relationship/link between brush size and texture scale?
And there is any way to quick access to texture scale beside awaking brush properties ? I didn’t find anything. There would be nice ability to put scale slider into the toolbar or pop-up palette, or ability to assign a hotkeys.
Maybe not 99% as many presets use static texture to imitate traditional material, but a tick for linking brush size and texture scale is something that could be very useful, as well as a slider in RMB pop-up palette.
Something similar was proposed here Bindable brush settings - determine the value of a setting by the value of another
I just created a patch adding the option of having the Texture Size as one of the sliders on the main toolbar (like the Size, Opacity, and Flow options that currently exist). This way you can quickly change the texture size while drawing, instead of having to go into the brush settings every time you want to change it.
I think this is the best solution to your request. Actually linking the brush size to texture size only works for brushes that don’t allow the size to change during a brush stroke (e.g. with pen pressure). If the texture size were to change mid brush stroke, it would lose all definition and not actually come out as a texture, but just a muddy mess. Also, changing the size has enough of a performance hit that if it happened every dab/frame, the brush stroke would slow to a crawl…
Anyway, the branch is voronwe/patternsizetool, if you want to build it for testing. The changes were small enough, that I’m hoping it gets merged into 4.3 beta. I’ll post an update here when it gets merged, so you can get it in the nightly builds then.
Thanks, it would much comfortable! But I mean to change brush texture when changing brush size with hotkey (or other way) without linking to pressure sensitivity. For example, I set that 200 is brush size correlates with 100% texture size, and 10 brush size is 1% texture size, that way changing brush size with [ or ] changes texture proportionally.
I agree that it would be cool to be able to change the texture pattern and the scaling from the toolbar at the same time!!!
I tested new toolbar slider in 4.4 beta and it goes well. Thanks for the job!
