Im just having a play with PaintFX and creating my own brush but Im a little bewildered as to why the Tube Sections under Mesh doesnt seem to increase detail after '5' ?? In some ways it doesnt seem to matter at render time cause the stamps render the tube out circular anyway although if I convert it to polys, it renders out hexagonal rather than circular and for some reason I cannot increase the radius subsections.

Convert them to nurbs, then make polygons to your liking out of those...

Sometimes you need to increase the detail inside the brush itself...

Thanks the FX > Nurbs > Poly worked a treat.

Thats the thing though, I tried searching through the brush itself but for some reason tube sections get clamped at low values.

That's true, I remember now I had same problem once.
Since I'm used to use PFX with polygons, I forget sometimes that they can be converted to nurbs or curves...
As much as I think the PFX are amazing, I'd still like more control on some of the aspects.
