Custom Scatter Brush

Post by bliss_infinite »

I'm looking to create a custom scatter brush. What I found online is that I can create a custom scatter brush file and save it in the Scatter Brushes folder. However when I do that my new scatter brush (with a new file name) does not appear in the Scatter Brush dropdown options.

Do I have to overwrite the existing files due to how AS 8 debut is programed to read those files or am I missing something?

I'd rather not overwrite the existing files but if that is the only way then I'll have to.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

LOL! Nevermind, I just answered my own questions.

I just had to restart the application and there it was!

I don't know if this works for Adding brushes, but when I add new scripts pressing alt + control + f5 refreshes the app to show em, so it might.

Also, you can just select the clipboard as e scatter brush source and usually I just do this for convenience.
