The brush pipe idea sounds interesting as it'd support tilt. That'd be useful for modelling textures that have larger features than the tool size. I could see the benefit there for simulating drawing on corrugated cardboard. For finer textures (i.e. paper) one mask is fine. The texture code would modify the brush mask at runtime using the current texture and pressure. Higher pressure desposits more pigment into the deeper crevases of the texture. Is there a practical benefit for storing multiple copies of a texture for differing amounts of pressure inside a brush pipe file? - David On 6 Feb 2001, Jens Lautenbacher wrote: > "David A.
