Brush -New

Post by bupaje »

Hi. I had created some nice brushes for PSP some time and here is one I made for hair/grass. This was just a quick try but if you like the way it looks in Moho and find it useful I can dig through the others I made and post the best ones here.

Here is a large screen shot of it applied in Moho ...

and here is the png file which you just need to have in your brush folder and restart Moho to see. This image was with a border of 10.

It's truly strange that that works so well, especially once you see the brush itself. (Looks like an underwater urchin thingy.)

I wonder if this technique could work for longer, more straggly hair.

I have to say, that's pretty inspirational. I really haven't played with the brushes much at all, but I guess I should.

Cool brush - can we include it on the brush download page? There's not much there yet, but here's the page I'm talking about:

Please do! I'll give the others a try over the next day or two and post them. Several of these brushes worked great in PSP especially with some random settings to vary size, hue etc and produce very nice grass, plants and so on. I made them as an experiment in a 3D modeler to see if they make better brushes -I'm not that good in 3D but I just dragged some points out in several rocklike/plantlike and wierd blobs and some lighting and tried materials like glass, metal etc rendered them then made them brushes in PSP adjusting a tiny bit. I find they can produce richer strokes than 'flat' brushes and I have managed to get some really cool results.

I had some other plant like brushes that might work I'll try when I get home.

Here go a few more I dug out and tested. Sorry for the big screenshots. Only did them quickly, be interested in seeing if you do anything interesting. :)

Still have a few more and can make more slowly (don't want to take time from Moho ;) ) if they are useful.

@Lostmarble -please feel free to use them or post them in any way.

Oops forgot to post a sample of the 'wheatgrass' brush and posted a sample of the 'bearclaw' brush results but forgot to post that brush grrr.... well you get the idea. Not sure if anyone will find it useful as these would likely produce less 'cartoon like' effects but if you find them useful then I should have another dozen or so scattered around my harddrive.
