How to save the Tint option when saving a created brush?

Post by marciohmota »

Hello everyone! With this new Moho update, I started trying to create some brushes with PNGs, but I’m having trouble with the Tint option, which doesn’t save when I create a new brush. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
The brushes are in the link for anyone who wants to use them. You just need to enable the Tint option to have color. The Aqua 2 looks especially cool.

While some of the default brushes have stroke tint enabled and greyed out, I can't find a way to set that for a new brush.
There doesn't seem to be a setting for it in the .mohobrush (which is just a zip archive in json format).

If I make a new brush from an existing brush, that already has stroke tint enable by default, it does carry over.

Ah, I figured it out. It is very well hidden.

I usually use Moho to create my brushes. I set the project to 128 x 128 dimensions, Ctrl+R to render a frame, and save to PNG from there.

The problem is that Moho saves PNGs with a 32 bit depth. But if you convert that to 24 bit depth (I used https://online-converting.com/image/# ), Moho automatically makes that a tint by stroke brush (that can't be disabled). Seems the only way to make tint by stroke default is to make it permanent.


I've reported a possible improvement for this.
