Pencil (Tilt and No Tilt)

v1.0

This is intended for pen/tablet with azimuth and tilt recognition only. Mouse input will not work correctly.

Has a texture like a pencil. It will deposit more from pressure and will widen according to azimuth and tilt; it will widen more as you tilt your pen closer to the tablet in the direction that the pen is pointing.

The preview demonstrates in one stroke how the brush will change from pressure (increasing to the right) and tilt angle (increasing towards the bottom). The pen azimuth was kept the same - in a natural direction of ~160° (i'm right-handed).

This was a quick draft. I'm curious to see how this will work for other tablets. Any ideas for improvements/alterations lemme know. :eek:



edit: added a standard pencil with no tilt function - this one should work with mouse

:up: Impressive thread
The brush from maninmachine is excellent and the drawing done with it by jaycephus seems made on a real paper.
I like to see such collaboration. :smile:
