Hey Paw-Painters!
This new update bumps PawPaint from v1.10 to v1.11 with some new features and bug fixes, especially surrounding drawing tablet support. The patch notes are as follows:
CHANGES MADE:
Painting on a layer that cannot currently be painted on will now inform you why, for example: "Can't paint - "Paint 1" is hidden". This also happens when the wrong material is selected, and when no channels are enabled, and in a few other places.
Selecting multiple layers will now highlight all of them in the layers panel. The same applies for masks and modifiers.
Export dilation can now be customized via a slider in the export panel. This determines how far the texture will be extended outside of its UV islands in order to prevent visual anomalies in some games.
You can now export textures with a custom background color, and the default color has been changed from white to black.
Minor UI improvements have been made to the Export panel.
Hover tooltips across the program have been refined to be easier to understand.
Many many improvements have been made to PawPaint's drawing tablet support, with more to come in the near future. Some of the improvements made are:
WinTab support has been added as an alternative to Windows Ink. This gives your tablet a full pressure range of 8192 compared to the 1024 which Windows Ink allows. This is changeable in the settings menu.
You can now individually customize how pressure affects the Size, Opacity, Flow and Hardness brush values.
A pressure curve and size response settings can now be changed in the settings menu.
Pen pressure smoothing has been added as a setting. This setting is turned off by default but can be enabled to reduce pressure jitter.
You can enable "Eraser end erases" which allows for erasing with the back of your pen (if your pen supports it), or erasing with erase buttons.
Stamps can now follow pen tilt or pen barrel rotation if your pen supports it.
A new "Tablet Diagnostics" window has been added under the "Help" tab.
Many basic improvements have been made as to how pen inputs are handled by PawPaint.
BUGS FIXED:
Brush strokes on hidden layers no longer add an unnecessary undo step.
The brush no longer shows a preview ring on the UV panel when the layer cannot be painted on.
The polygon fill tool no longer fills a small amount outside of the polygon that it's meant to fill.
Fixed an issue where symmetry sometimes didn't copy small brush strokes over to the other side on models that weren't completely symmetrical.
Layers with "Mask all channels to albedo" can now be copied correctly without losing that property.
Image layers that use transparency no longer display a thin outline that would occur sometimes.
Switching from a scaled down UV projection to 3d projection or Triplanar now correctly defaults the tiling value of the layer to 1x1.
PawPaint no longer blinks out of focus when using file dialogs such as selecting a 3D model or texture.
The "Unsaved changes" prompt when closing an unsaved project can no longer hide behind other floating panels.
