okay... just wondering does a brush size have to be a power of 2 like a texture?

Matty (Posted 2008) [#2]

The brush doesn't but any texture belonging to the brush does. A brush does not necessarily have any size as it is not a texture.

ok so I could use load brush to load a brush that is say 100*50 what do you mean the texture belonging to the brush does?

By using loadbrush you're loading a texture so what matty says will still stand, depending on your graphics card. On most cards 100 * 50 will be scaled up to 128 x 64 ( nearest powers of 2 ). For compatiility with all systems always use power of 2 texture sizes.

oh ok Thanks I was just asking because I saw that the sample flag.bb used an odd size brush.
