:sparkles: Transformations

  • Manual adjustments: Modify size, rotation, and flipping.
  • Randomization: Add randomness to transformations for dynamic and unique results.
  • sublime_text_zNIfLdvHKt

:sparkles: Brush Transition Options

Keep your workflow dynamic with multiple transition modes:

  • Static: No transition, fixed on the first brush.
  • Forward: Loop through brushes sequentially.
  • Reverse: Loop through brushes in reverse order.
  • Ping-Pong: Cycle forward and backward.
  • Random: Randomly picked brush from the set.

When in Static mode, you can use a hotkey to switch to the next or previous brush.
