Other Information

  • Besides recording objects as shown here, the Script Brush can be very useful for automating a series of strokes that may be used for texturing. Especially when using the Rec Stroke option so that different brushes and colors can be selected.
  • Do note that while the results can look similar to a Clip Brush the Script Brush tool is very different in that the strokes are bring painted each time rather than a image being stamped into place.
