mash 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philnolan3d 252 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
