Drag Rectangle like brush in PS?

[hakanpersson]

On your left panel, called "stroke". Theres the "DrawRect". Along with a squared alpha and the simple brush you will get squares. After your painted onto the canvas, just use wer-keys to move/rot/scale.

You can also use the Cube3d and just leave edit mode whenever you are happy with the position.

Perhaps other ways too, but I usually dont paint in zbrush so I dont know more than that.

I may have misread, but I think hazzadus was asking how to get a Photoshop brush to work like the drag rectangle tool in ZBrush.

I don't think there is a way to do this. I know you can adjust the rotation in the brush settings but you'd have to do this before each stroke.

The only way I can think of to get close to this interactively would be to use the shape and move tools but since shapes are vectors it probably wouldn't be of much use for your specific needs.

There's always ZApplink :D allowing you to use the drag rectangle tool from ZBrush. j/k

Too.. much...work and too little sleep! Sorry, you are right.


I am not sure if you mean EXACTLY like zbrush?

I figure this is what TonyEdwards meant, but the Rectangle tool in photoshop isnt very different. Since you can change size/position/rotation with 'free transform'. And the rectangle is still vectors until you have rasterized it, thus you wont loose any quality until you have done so. (btw, just right-click the rectangles layer and choose "rasterize" to convert to pixels)

Thanks for the replies guys! I know there are ways to mimic the results but I was just wondering if there was a way to do it as fast and intuitive in PS as it is in zbrush. I guess there isn't but it would be sweet. Thanks.
