Corel Painter lets you select nozzles containing various images to use with the Image Hose. You can adjust the opacity, size, color, position, and spacing of the images you paint.
The Image Hose is easy to use and offers a number of options for the behavior of “nozzle spray.”
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 library 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 about these settings, see Color Expression Controls and Ranks and Indexing Rules.
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.
