Questions and Answers

What does the template brush represent in the Paint Effects Tool?

  • The 2D canvas where the paint is applied along the stroke path
  • The underlying NURBS curve that defines the shape of the stroke path
  • A preset brush that can be selected and used to paint a stroke
  • A collection of attribute settings that define the brush to be attached to the next stroke (correct)
  • How do changes made to the template brush affect previous strokes?

  • Changes to the template brush do not affect any previous strokes made with that brush (correct)
  • Changes to the template brush affect all previous strokes made with that brush
  • Changes to the template brush only affect the next stroke made with that brush
  • Changes to the template brush are automatically applied to all subsequent strokes
  • What is the purpose of saving brushes as preset brushes?

  • To define the underlying NURBS curve that determines the shape of the stroke path
  • To apply the same brush settings to all strokes made on the 2D canvas
  • To create custom brush settings that can be easily accessed and applied to future strokes (correct)
  • To permanently store the attribute settings of the template brush
  • What is the relationship between the stroke and the underlying NURBS curve in the Paint Effects Tool?
