Hi Guys,

I have an alpha that I like to use as a brush for 3D Coat.  The image on the alpha using the full square area from corner to corner.  However, when I use the brush, I am not able to use the full square, because the Brush has a circular area and my corners are cut off.  Is there a way to adjust the brush tip to use a square to encompass the full alpha image?  Thanks.

Thank you.  This does help. My problem is that I have 500 alpha images that uses the full square.  It looks like the only way around this issues is to add a padding to my alpha images.  For all 500 images, this will take some time.  Is there a way I can request Andrew to add an auto padding in the brush settings to compensate for the circle crop?  Or allow a full square option for the brush?  Thanks.

I spoke with Andrew. He says this will be implemented in 4.7.30. :)

That is awesome... I never speak to Andrew personally as I figure he has enough people speaking into his ear. Now it is good thing for a developer to have personal feedback like Javis and AbnRanger but but too many chefs in the kitchen spoil the broth.   That is a choice I make,  so I make my request or problems encountered in the Beta Thread. Not enough time still to put bug stuff at Mantis or feature request at Trello...

That is awesome, always wondered if I was just missing something or the circle for the alpha was just a thing. Good to know 4.7.30 will have a way to adjust the alpha brush shape. I have quite a few square brushes I could use now.

Version 4.7.34 changelog

- square alphas complete support, even older ones will act correctly.

- square alphas distortions fixed. In some cases alphas require reimporting. Square alphas derived from 3D models supported as well.
