Member mash Posted December 8, 2011 Member Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi, Wondering of someone else could check this out for me. I saved one of the standard brushes as a psd file. Opened that up in Photoshop and created a new brush For my example I used the skull and bones from the Wingding fonts. Saved that out with the proper layers: Color, Heightmap, Specular, Erasemask Saved it as a .png Loaded it up into 3d coat. When I go to use the brush it's upside down from the way I created it. It is displayed correctly in the brush menu. When I go to brush options and set brush rotation to 180 it also inverts the height map. If you load it up as a mask the orientation is correct. Thanks, mash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted December 9, 2011 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Did you import and test the PSD file for the brush to see if it was inverted also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yep I checked the file in photoshop. Even re-xported the brush to photoshop to check. I attached a .PNG file of the brush. I can't uplaod the .PSD file for some reason. I've also attached a screen shot of the brush.

It's been like that for a long time now, and can get annoying, since rotating it in the pen/brush settings causes other problems. It has been reported, but clearly it isn't a problem to anyone else I'm sure it is a simple thing to fix when and if it eventually gets high enough in the list of things to do.

Hi, Thanks for the info. That's what I thought since some of the installed brushes are set to 180 by default. It's not a major problem except when you rotate a brush 180 it inverts the depth map also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 This has been a problem for me for years. I've just managed to avoid using them so it doesn't bother me as much. If you just want it as a stamp you could use Stamp mode in the E panel and that shouldn't matter what direction it's facing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 10, 2011 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah, that's annoying and should be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
