What exactly is the path brush?

Hey gang,

 

Anyone have a good definition of what the path brush is?  I've been doing some experiments with Paint Fill Setup on a brush that's been reinitialized to get a better visual concept of what it does and I'm a little stumped.

  • Regarding the Paint Fill Setup options for the Fill From control. There are indeed 2 different brush option, Brush, and PathBrush.

     

    Here's a simple computation brush Source we are using for a paint preset

    2472632359?profile=originalSo if my Brush Type is the Source Brush, then there's really no different between using Brush of Path Brush for my FIll From option. 

    But suppose i change the Brush Type to Procedural Brush.

    The screen shot below shows 2 painted paths, one top one using the Brush for Fill From, the bottom using the Path Brush for Fill From. I'm using Fill Option set to From, so you just see what is in the Fill From source being drawn.

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

Teenage Tongue Cult

Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
