Editing brushes

[philnolan3d]

I wanted to make a square brush because it's difficult to paint in sharp corners or along straight edges, so I thought I would just edit the hard-round brush that 3DC comes with and save that separately. But you apparently can't edit that one, or any of that main group of brushes shown here:

So if I just want the shape that will work for everything, do I just make the shape on one layer, then duplicate the layer a few times and give each the appropriate name?

Hi Phil,

Fast answer: yes. Export one of the other (ie not one of those defaults; pick one of the more detailed ones) brushes and save a copy. Then edit to your heart's content. Another way is to use a 3d cube object (obj or lwo I think) as your brush, that way you can control the amount of rounding/bevel on the cube brush.

Cheers,

Thanks, that's a good point about the cube.
