2 really flattens also the bump.
This could be a help, even though a bit old and with some mistakes:

I often switch smudging [shift] and averaging [shitf]+[ctrl] to get a very soft blending. If I want to go overboard with the softness, I even choose brush#1, but that's rare!
Ordinarily my left hand has...
- the small finger hovering over [ctrl]
- the ring finger hovering over [shift]
- the middle finger over [w] - toggles pressure controlled size
- the index finger over [e] - toggles pressure controlled opacity
- thumb over [space] - brush size control
This way I can quickly adjust the settings necessary to either paint, smudge or average, using pressure controlled size or not, using pressure controlled opacity or not and, of course, change the brush size on the fly.
It very quickly becomes a natural way of painting and soon you don't even have to think about this anymore. As with everything it will take a few times to get used to it, but it happens and then Verve really becomes such a natural extension of your hand and mind, it's quite wonderful.
Even when I change brushes or bring up various controls like color wheel or color swatches, or switch paint modes, I automatically revert my hand back to the default position as above!
You are a wonderful artist, before I somehow accidentally skip mentioning this, because to me it goes without saying. I love what you've done already as well as your fantastic youtube clip! By the way...have you posted a link to it, yet?! If not, I'll do so for you!
I still have to hook up the "hugging" emoticon, but consider this one BIG HUG!
Taron wrote:Yeah, I still have to find an elegant solution for this so-called dispersion. The problem with routines like that is that they are very aggressive and hard to control, if you want them to run smoothly, as quickly as Verve acts currently.
It's a wonderful challenge, but also quite frustrating.
In the meantime, you should really have a closer look at the fluid:smudge parameter to at least control the softness of blending as you smudge the paint with [shift].
