Do you get better results just painting with a paint tool? The brush you posted is not a good candidate for orientation dynamics, as is much wider than tall. Remember brush dynamics do not deform or distort the brush in any no uniform way, it merely rotates it. You would get (marginally) better results with a bowtie shaped brush. Not sure about the path flipping when stroking. If you use a gih with angular rotation it doesn't flip, so this looks like a bug in the brush dynamic engine. http://www.majhost.com/gallery/ffaat/gimp/more/gihtest.jpg -Rob A> On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 2:40 AM, Ofnuts <ofnuts@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > While playing with 2.7, I noticed that one of the brush dynamics is the > oriention, something I had been longing for. > > However, when stroking a selection, the results are a bit disappointing. > Here is an XCF with a couple of tests: > > http://dl.free.fr/fRALiPMXa > > (on the left, the 2.7 results, on the right, what one would expect...). > > The pictures are actually a "selection to path" + "stroke path" , > because a direct "stroke selection" on the circle is even worse. > > >From a user point of view, it is difficult to understand > > - on the circle: the "side switch" > > - on the square: the inversion in the top bar (I assume the reason is > the same as in the circle), and the inconsistent overlap (the right side > of the top bar should be under the right bar). > > Rounding the corners would be a cherry on the cake :-) > > If it's still work in progress, I didn't say anything... > > -- > Ofnuts > > > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-developer mailing list > Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer > _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
