Controlling the behavior of Hard Media variants

Corel Painter lets you control how a Hard Media variant behaves when you apply strokes to the canvas. The

Stepping slider controls the transition between narrow and wide sections of a stroke. Moving the slider to

the right makes the transition appear more abrupt, and moving it to the left makes the transition smoother.

The Transition Range sliders lets you determine the angle at which you transition from a fine point to a

wider stroke when tilting your stylus. This control lets you simulate the look and feel of hard media such as

pencils or markers. A real-world example of this would be holding a sharp pencil perpendicular to a piece

of paper. When you draw at a 90° angle, you produce a very narrow or hard line. If you tilt your pencil to a

60° angle, you produce a wider or softer line.

At the top of the image, a stylus is shown tilting at different angles and

the stoke that corresponds with the angle is displayed at the bottom

of the image. The graph in the middle of the image identifies the

start (green arrow) and the Finish (red arrow) of the Transition Range.

The Hard Media controls are usable only with the Circular, Captured, and Eraser dab types. For more

information, see “General controls” on page 332.

create more angles between dabs.

To set the Hard Media transition range

With a Hard Media variant active, choose Window Brush Control Panels Hard Media.

2 Move the Start slider to set the angle at which the transition will start.

Moving the slider to the right increases the angle; moving the slider to the left decreases the angle.
