If you have a tablet and pen that support reading the rotation angle of your pen, you can configure the Brush tool to use this information to rotate your brush tip based on how you rotate your tablet pen. This feature can be used by adjusting the Pen Tilt Sensitivity parameter in the Brush Properties dialog-see Creating a Solid Brush, Configuring a Textured Brush Tip and Brush Tool Properties.
A tilted tip is stretched or projected at the angle in which you tilt your tablet pen, simulating the effect of drawing with a tilted pencil or felt pen. If you have a tablet and pen that support reading the tilt angle of your pen, you can configure the Brush tool to use this information and draw with a tilted tip. This feature can be enabled by adding the Pen Settings toolbar to your workspace, and selecting either Average or Pulled String in the toolbar's drop-down menu-see About Pen Stabilization. The distance between your mouse cursor or tablet pen and the stroke can be customized. Once that length is reached, the string pulls the drawing tool in the direction of your mouse cursor or tablet pen. This string has a certain maximum length. As you move the mouse or tablet pen, the drawing tool remains in that position, but a "string" appears, linking your drawing tool to your mouse cursor or pen tip.
Pulled String: When you start drawing a stroke, Storyboard Pro positions the drawing tool where your stroke starts. There are two different stabilizing method methods:Īverage: Storyboard Pro calculates the average direction of all of your mouse or pen gestures between the end of the actual drawing stroke and the current position of your mouse cursor or pen tip, and extends the stroke in this average direction, effectively evening out jitter and rounding sharp turns. By trailing behind, it can smooth out the flaws in your drawing gesture and generate a smooth stroke. Once your stroke reaches a certain length, it starts generating a line that trails behind your mouse cursor or tablet pen. It works by letting you draw a stroke without generating a line immediately. The new pen stabilizer can help you draw smooth, stable lines by stabilizing your drawing strokes as you draw, without having to smooth them afterwards.
