Apply brush settings to strokes

You can apply brush settings to a stroke from an existing brush (one that is attached to another stroke), a brush preset, or the template brush.

When you apply brush settings to strokes, the brushes attached to each of the strokes remain unique, even though they have the same settings—changes to one do not affect any other. If you want the strokes to share the same brush, use the Generate > Share One Brush option on the Modeling menu set. For details, see Make strokes share or unshare the same brush.

To apply preset brush settings to the last stroke

  1. In the Content Browser (Generate > Get Brush), or on a shelf, click the brush preset with the settings you want to apply to the last painted stroke.
  2. Modify brush settings, if necessary (Generate > Template Brush Settings or use the Ctrl-b (Linux and Windows) or Control-b (Mac OS X) hotkey combination). For information on modifying brush settings, see Paint Effects Brush Settings.
  3. Select Generate > Apply Settings to Last Stroke. The template brush settings are copied to the last painted stroke, replacing its current settings.
