"Global" noisy vectors possible?

Post by heyvern »

I have a project would like to do some "noisy" vector outlines. However, it's many layers multiple characters and difficult to select and change all of it.
Was curious if there are any solutions, maybe scripting that would be able to create the noise for the entire document.

you can set the "noisy" options in multiple layers at a time -- I've just had a quick try with a file with many groups each with many vectors - with all layers (including groups) selected - as long as the active layer is a vector, whatever you put in the Vector / Noise settings tab in layer properties gets applied to all the vector layers.

or, ofc, you can script it to (say) copy the settings from the active (vector) layer to all other vector layers in the file. A simple

Code: Select all

if active layer is vector then:
	copy noisy settings
	for all layers
		if vector then 
			set noisy settings
		end
	end
end

You can also use the filter by layer type to quickly select and modify the properties of all vector layers in the document.
