436 Corel Painter X3 Getting Started Guide

Using the Image hose

To start painting with the Image hose, you need to choose the Image Hose category

from the Brush library, select an Image hose variant, and then choose the imagery that

you want to apply. The imagery is stored in a nozzle file. For example, you can load

images of any description — leaves, bark, grass, stones, people, or whatever you want.

When you paint with these image elements, you can build them into coherent shapes,

such as a tree, hill, cobblestone street, or crowd of people.

As with other Corel Painter brushes, the Image hose has several variants. These built-

in variants combine nozzle control factors (indexing rules) with brush settings to create

different hose effects.

The Nozzle Libraries panel.

Variants are divided into two types — Spray and Linear — according to the placement

of images in relation to the stroke. Spray variants scatter images. Linear variants place

images directly on the stroke path. Variants also differ in the way they link the size and

angle of images to factors such as stylus tilt, pressure, and position.

A variant’s name contains important information. For example, the variant’s name

Linear-Size-P Angle-D indicates that this is a Linear variant that links the size of

images you paint to the stylus pressure (P) and places them at an angle based on the

direction (D) of the stroke. The letters R, W, and B in variants’ names signify Random,

Wheel, and Bearing. For more information, see “Color Expression controls” on

page 405 and “Understanding nozzles, ranks, and indexing” on page 443.

You can use these variants as a starting point and then adjust the brush and nozzle

controls to deliver the images just as you want them. For more information, see

“Adjusting Image hose opacity and grain” on page 437 and “Adjusting the size and

spacing of image hose elements” on page 439.
