Pulled String: When you start drawing a stroke, Harmony positions the drawing tool where your stroke starts. There are two different stabilizing method methods:Īverage: Harmony calculates the average direction of all of your mouse or pen gestures between the end of the actual drawing stroke and the current position of your mouse cursor or pen tip, and extends the stroke in this average direction, effectively evening out jitter and rounding sharp turns. By trailing behind your stroke, it can smooth out the flaws in your drawing gesture and generate a smooth stroke. It works by letting you draw a stroke without generating a line immediately, instead it starts generating a line that trails behind your mouse cursor or tablet pen once it reaches a certain length. The new pen stabilizer can help you draw smooth, stable lines by stabilizing your drawing strokes as you draw, without having to smooth them afterwards.

You can also create dynamic brushes, which allow you to use artwork created in Harmony as if it was a brush tip or a stamp.Here is the list of changes in Harmony 17.0.0, build 14765 (): Changing the colour used to paint a textured vector brush stroke from the colour palette will update the colour in textured vector brush stroke, as it would with solid vector brush strokes, all the while preserving its texture. Hence, their colour can be repainted or updated as easily as with solid vector brush strokes. On vector layers, textured vector brush strokes are composed of a greyscale bitmap mask applied to their colour. If your brush is scaled up or deformed in a way that takes more volume, Harmony will automatically generate new pixels for the textures, which might cause them to lose quality. If your strokes contain a bitmap texture, Harmony will scale or deform the texture to fit the new shape of your brush. When drawing on vector layers, you can use the Select Tool, Contour Editor, Smooth Editor, Perspective and Envelope tool to scale your brush strokes or to tweak their shape. Hence, they can be used to draw in various art styles, add natural-looking details to your drawing and reproduce the feel of a real brush stroke. Textured brush strokes can have a bitmap brush tip, a bitmap paper texture, and various settings such as hardness, randomness, antialiasing and transparency. Solid vector brush strokes are made of a vector shape filled with a solid colour, making them limited in terms of art style, but lightweight and easy to manage. With the Brush tool, you can draw solid vector strokes or textured bitmap strokes, depending on your brush properties.

The Brush tool is pressure sensitive and lets you create a contour shape with a thick and thin line effect, as if it was created with a paint brush.
