Key Features

:sparkles: Brush Set Management

  • Save multiple brushes: No more creating a new custom brush every time you switch!
  • Easy access: Quickly switch brushes from your brush set with a hotkey.

:sparkles: Flexible Brush Set Creation

Create brush sets in three intuitive ways:

  • Grid Tiles: Select an area and divide it into grid-sized brushes, perfect for tilesets.
  • Separate Selections: Create brushes from multiple distinct selections on your canvas.
  • Selected Cels: Select a range of cels in the timeline to define brushes based on your animation frames.

:sparkles: Rotated Set Creation

Easily create rotated sets for your artwork:

  • Grid Tiles: Divide a selected area into grid-based rotated sets, ideal for tilesets.
  • Separate Selections: Generate rotated sets from multiple distinct selections on your canvas.
  • Selected Cels: Rotate images across a range of cels in the timeline, perfect for animation frames.

Use these rotated sets as pre-configured brush sets for seamless workflows!

:sparkles: Transformations

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

:sparkles: Brush Transition Options

Keep your workflow dynamic with multiple transition modes:

  • 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.
