paint draw differs from path length

Posted by Dev Dodd on January 15, 2009 at 1:11pm
When autodrawing a Spiral 1 path shape large enough to extend off the canvas it seems that whereas the painted stroke appears the bezier path as revealed in Bezier Edit is only going about half way (> < hard to estimate, being a spiral) regardless of the path length set in the Path Shape/Path Length box. The Canvas is only 640x480 and the maximum path length I've tried is 2000. I want to cut the bezier path and edit the outer bands but they isn't there. When the canvas is erased to black and the path is again painted via cmd-K the paint goes the actual[?] length of the path, that is not as far as before. Anybody know a reason, or way?

    In the main preferences you can set the Path Buffer Max. You could try bumping that up if it's at a low setting.

    Bezier conversion will also fail if the path generated by the paint synthesizer is not contiguous. Path Randomization can cause that. You can turn on the Interpolate Path checkbox in that control panel in 3.5 (it's in Path Application in 4) to force the generated path to be contiguous if you think that is a problem.

      I did both and they did the trick, thanks.
