PaintStop Features
From ZBrush Info
Many of PaintStop’s features are available in pop up menus.
As you can see in the above Pencil Menu to close a menu without making a selection, press the spacebar, hit ENTER on the keyboard, or click the ‘X’ close button.
PaintStop’s brushes are arranged on the left of the interface. On launching PaintStop the Pencil will be selected, as indicated by the orange bar on the right of the button.
Click to the right of the arrow to select a different Pencil. The selected Pencil will be indicated by a slight fade on image of selected pencil.
Below each brush you will find the ‘X’ button that will exit a menu if there is no wish to change selected Pencil.
The brushes are controlled by sliders at the top of the interface.
- Draw Size (hotkey ‘S’) changes the width of brush strokes.
- Color Depth (hotkey ‘D’) affects the strength of color (or effect for erasers/blend brushes).
- The Brush Adjust slider has a different effect for each brush type. Such as changing the direction of your brush stroke.
Color can be chosen from the picker, or thru the swatches button. You can load RGB or grayscale Photoshop swatches (.aco files). Press the hotkey ‘K’ to bring up a swatch at the cursor position.
To pick a color from the canvas use the hotkey ‘B’. This will also pick color from the other layer or tracing image.
To exit PaintStop and return to ZBrush, press the Exit button on the right of the interface or choose Exit PaintStop from the File menu.
