Krita 5 beta1: Brushes don't work like they should from bundles

Ok, i have started my own checking for the bundle Muses. And i have modified the Muses bundle
I have reviewed the 42 and updated or upgraded respecting what the bundle was. I think we are talking about 2013, wow

Is a very good set… Remember the old days of Krita 2.8, Some parameters wasn’t even there. And that was noticeable in the brushes.
I was thinking about an update and , why not upgrading them keeping their essence?. For example the Color smudge brushes have been upgraded to the new Smudge algorithm, 2x faster. but I keep the old icons to preserve visual memory in other users.


I share the.kpps here, Enjoy them!.
ALERT! UNDER YOUR OWN RISK! only if you know what you are doing! Just for testing. Backup your all your files first.
If you have Muses bundle loaded, then just copy to a your resource folder and delete the Resource.Sqlite .Restart Krita and done.

Thank you very much, i love to see the updated bundles, will test and try it later today :slight_smile:
By the way the smudge engine improvement for me is from 3,2 px/ms to 4,4 px/ms max speed, showed with the option “debugg logging for brush rendering speed”, for the i) Wet Bristles with 250px size. 30% improvement. Not bad, but far away from 100% :laughing: Is it really 2x for you?
EDIT: i just recognized that it is 6,1 px/ms, nearly 2x faster, with the mouse! but only with the mouse! with the wacom intuos it is just 4,0-4,4 px/ms. Maybe i write a bug report…

My Hardware: iMac 27" 2019, 3,7 Ghz 6-Core i5, 32GB Ram, Radeon Pro 580X 8GB, Wacom Intuos Pro Medium

I created now 3 bugs reports, cause it looks like bugs to me and with all this 3 bugs, nearly all this problem form this topics are resolved, by the way i tested all brushes now from over 15 bundles and compared all to the behavior for Krita 4: default krita 4 and local resources, Airbrush, Spray, Crayons_V1, 2020 Classic Chalk, RGBA Brushes, RGBA-wet, Charcoal_KA, RM_Sketch_V1, Impression_2021_v3, Deevad_2021, Krita_4_Extras, Rad_pack, Digital Atelier

I hope this helps to make Krita 5 even better :wink:

Hi I’ve been having nearly the exact same issues for months and haven’t seen it resolved with the new beta or though some of the suggestions posted above and the fixed Muses bundle didn’t work at all for me. Many brushes that use their own textures, constantly revert back to the default canvas. I have a few bundles, but I’m having the most noticeable issues with the digital atelier pack. Many of the brush tips will appear missing and the only workaround I have is it select a new random brush tip in the editor and switch back to the original - this fixes most of the brushes, but not all of them. Most of the watercolor brushes in the digital atelier pack don’t work at all for me anymore which is a real shame. I’m assuming this is all just a bug with the new resource system that I hope gets resolved soon!
