Then turn on the program and the textures should load The “Blotmap”, “Bristle” and “Brushtext” folders with those from the zip file (by going HEREto the DA submission, and then clicking the download button near the faveīutton), then go to folder where you keep your SAI2 beta, and replace You use the SAI2 beta and want to try those brush settings, pleaseĭownload the. This is a repost of my original submission at Deviantart. Now everything is ok… but I wish I’d realised that before that wave of reblogs… now people will have it wrong in their reblogs _ (prays to gods so people will check the source post)Īnd some doodles, where I was testing those brushes: link So a 128x128px tool upscaled to a 1200px width brush can deliver a really nice subtle texture.EDIT: Ok, so here’s this bug in SAI2, that makes the interface lag - aka, the brush settings panel may not change when switching tools, and I haven’t realised that when making screenshots… thus 3 brushes had wrong settings >_>’ (nr 5, 12 and 14 had Paper texture while they should be “No texture”, “Fuzystatic” and “Watercolor 1″ respectively) Would you?Ĭonsider that with such a tool you can literally fill a 4k file with three strokes.Īnd a 4k file (8Mpx of resolution more or less) is dense enough to produce a good quality A3 print.ĭifferent approach if you want to create a Texture brush, in that case the larger the better since you want to block large areas quickly.īut also, in my opinion with massive large brushes the painterly effect 'faints' somehow, so you have to tune up your upper limit.ĭon't forget that sometimes low res nozzles are useful to reach some effects as a very soft pigment tool. Talking about pure painting or sketching tools (I mean tools that want to reproduce natural media experience) even working on large canvases you never reach those sizes.Ī 1024x1024px nozzle for a pencil means that you can use a 1024px wide brush. Even if I can say that bigger nozzle/tip is not always better. However, as document resolutions get larger and larger and therefore the size of brushes used get larger and larger, would making a nozzle 1000 X 1000 be more future proof? I noticed that the nozzle in post No.2 is 256 X 256.

When creating your own brush nozzles, what's the optimal resolution to save them in?
