• Life Randomness: A slider and adjacent value slider that define an amount of variance in
the life of the paint dabs. A value of 0 results in no variance—all dabs from the selected
stroke share the same life span. A value greater than 0 introduces a variance defined
by the Life parameter, plus or minus a random value falling within the Life Randomness
value.
• Speed: A slider that defines initial speed, determining how quickly each dab flies away
from the stroke.
• Speed Randomness: A slider that defines an amount of variance in the speed of the
paint dabs. A value of 0 results in no variance—all dabs from the selected stroke move
with the same speed. A value greater than 0 introduces a variance defined by the
Speed parameter, plus or minus a predetermined random value falling within the Speed
Randomness value.
• Spin: A dial that animates the dabs of a paint stroke by initially spinning each dab
around its center. Adjustments to this control are in degrees per second.
• Spin Randomness: A dial that defines an amount of variance in the spin of the paint
dabs. A value of 0 results in no variance—all dabs from the selected stroke spin at the
same rate. A value greater than 0 introduces a variance defined by the Spin parameter,
plus or minus a random value falling within the Spin Randomness value.
Pen Pressure and Pen Speed controls
When you draw paint strokes with a connected Wacom stylus and tablet, or apply a shape
style from the Shape Style pop-up menu to an existing paint stroke, two additional groups
of controls appear in the Advanced pane:
• Pen Pressure: Controls that let you adjust the width, opacity, spacing, angle, or jitter of
the paint stroke based on the pressure of your stylus on the tablet when the stroke was
created. These controls are identical to the controls in the Apply Pen Pressure shape
behavior. For more information, Apply Pen Pressure behavior in Motion.
• Pen Speed: Controls that let you adjust the width, opacity, spacing, angle, or jitter of
the paint stroke based on the speed of your stylus on the tablet when the stroke was
created. These controls are identical to the controls in the Apply Pen Pressure shape
behavior. See Apply Pen Speed behavior in Motion.
Note: Only strokes drawn using a stylus and tablet have recorded pressure variations. You
can select how the pressure of the stylus affects the stroke in the Paint Tool HUD before
you draw the stroke, or afterwards by activating this parameter in the Advanced pane.
