Rounded-corner Square-brush

[jaycephus]

I'd like to have a brush that is square with rounded corners to make flat, even strokes, but the square orients to the direction of stroke. (so with all the usual pen-pressure modifiers turned off, it just makes an even, uniform stroke)

The base shape would look something like the attached picture.

The desired straight-line stroke would just be an elongated version of the attached brush shape pic, a long rectangle with rounded corners.

(As a suggestion, a primitive like this with specified corner radius would be good, I think. I'd love to have the softer corners for all the various scatter brushes that currently exist.)

If it is possible to make this, currently, just give me some tips (like a good existing-brush to edit).

yes it's possible with the right BSL code.
I don't have time right now to code it for you but you can have a look on this page to help you.

PS : if you can't make it I'll make a little video or I'll code this form.

Very interested on this part. Seen bunch of photoshop artists using customized brusheswhen they do their art.
