Hexagon - Brushes and Painting
image, named “your-file-name” with the “_thumb” suffix. This will, for example, give
for the texture named “old_wood.jpg”: “old_wood_thumb.jpg” as the name of the
thumbnail.
- Hexagon 2 supports, as textures to reveal, the BMP, JPG, PNG, TIFF and GIF file
formats, although GIF is not recommended, since it can only handle 256 colors, which
is too weak a resolution for quality textures.
- As specified in the second method description, images to be used as brushes must
be in PNG format (non-destructive format).
1.5. BRUSHES DISPLAY
To work more efficiently with brushes, Hexagon 2 uses a specific display which
is different from the default cursor, and includes:
Two color circles (which can vary according to the usage) corresponding to the
diameter of the brush and its hardness, and;
A plain blue circle, corresponding to the strength or the opacity of the brush.
The brush display.
