Yes.... I know!
I was too busy (and lazy) to fix that particular issue, mostly because you can undo it for now and the effort of isolating that oversight requires a lot more careful work.
I'll deal with that later for sure!

A quick update on my weird issues: there was some fault in my drivers, and downloading the latest driver from the website instead of auto-updatng from inside Catalyst did the trick. d Will make some actual art with it as soon as I have time.

Hey Taron,
I was wondering if the bias setting for the palette knife brush (with square with bristles) got unhooked? the regular squarish brush gets a nice and sharp edge with the bias set to high.
For some reason this setting has no effect on the one that offers bristles. I think what could be awesome is, if the bias only affects the overall shape like the regular square brush, but won't touch the bristle settings.
I'd assume otherwise that the bias setting would create sharp edges for the bristles as well, no? Let me know what you think.
Also the smudge version of it, seems to ignore the bias setting as well. not a big deal, but would be awesome if it could correspond with the brush settings of the current one.
Your program totally rocks, trying out new things atm.
Thanks a bunch,
cheers,

P.S.: .. I'd have a crazy feature request for those two brushes: Do you have access to wacom's tilt setting? As an option to choose either the default alignment that's perpendicular to the stroke direction or as second option to align the brush perpendicular to the pen tilt direction. The direction of the brush would be always dictated by how you are holding the wacom pen! This would resemble an actual palette knife.
Most of my work brushes in photoshop are making use of that tilt setting. This feature would be totally awesome and you'd be my new hero!

Yeeeehhhhhh...I still have to add the soft edge to the fractal routine. Didn't want to do it to keep the speed up and felt like it wouldn't have enough positive impact to justify the effort, but yeah... I'll have a look!

Hmmm, ah, yes, I think I might be able to hook up Tilt for those, too, sure. Not sure how well it will work, but we shall see. All of those brushes, and I mean ALL of them, were just temporary little experiments, haha. I have a brush engine in mind that will make them all look silly (I hope). That new engine will come with a whole new interface and settings paradigm. But who knows when I get to that. Thus in the mean time I'll see what I can do to the ribbon section (#7 and #8).

Your wishes are my command!

Verve crashed after i saved my Landscape png ( mistakenly on 1 layer ,save mode i had 3 layers),than on project file format ,inspired by your Youtube Video.Now iam not able to open my project any more iam sad i work on it for 2,5hours

Unwanted scanline-effects. Often I did have unwanted scan line effects, just pleas view my doodle in the left upper corner.
I have an GeForce 550Ti 1GB, and my Nvidia-driver is the version 314.22 from march 2013. With new drives I did have in 2013 a lot of "blue screen of death" BSODS windows 7 (64 bit) or freezings.
Hm, what is to do? (mostly I can get smoothe these lines, with new brushstrokes, but it did destroy my structure) ....

Here my example, with unwanted scan-line-effects ....

Lunalight, if you can send me your project file somehow, like using wetransfer or any filesharing website, I will have a look at it. It sounds kind of weird!? But I sure would not want you to lose your project there! That never happened to me, that's why I'm not sure what might've been going on there, but maybe I can see, if I can somehow save your project. I'm sure it's worth trying!
Oh, and it's ALWAYS a good idea to save frequently, by the way. Not for a fear for a crash, but just as a good habit.

Zeropainter, looks like you might've left the "drying" off?! That's a bit of an intrinsic problem to the way the fluids work without a terminator like drying. I'm still trying to figure out how to prevent that, but in the meantime, if you're working with the drying turned off, as soon as you're generally happy with what you're looking at in the painting process, just turn the drying on again. ...I'll keep looking for solutions!
And "blue screen" issues are not from Verve, but another issue with your machine setup then. You should definitely run a check for what's installed on your system.
What I had not too long ago was my SSD drive failing gradually. It would lose the ability to store and retrieve blocks of data. Very scary stuff!

NO problem Taron, i use dropbox

Immer wenn ich versuche die Projekt Datei zu öffnen,stürzt das Programm ab.Ich befürchte Datei wurde schon beim abspeichern beschädigt, als Verve dabei hängen geblieben ist und ich manuell killen musste über Task manager.
Die png habe ich falsch abgespeichert das war mein eigener fehler,den habe ich dann gesehen und wollte das orginal abspeichern und dann eine neue png mit allen Ebenen erstellen.Vorher ist mir dann mein Projekt abgestürzt beim speichern.
Routinemässig drück ich alle 20 min auf dem Tablet Save aber ist noch nicht konfiguriert für den idealen workflow wie zb in PS.

Ugh, well, eh...that would naturally corrupt the file, of course. Since it is compressed, there's no way to repair it. I THINK you may have thought Verve had crashed, because it would say "(not responding)" or something like that, but that does not mean it crashed at all. Just wait for a few minutes. If it was a big image it could take some time to save a verve project!!!

So... patience! And don't be afraid, if it hangs for a moment! It never ever crashed for me during saving, nor have I've gotten any reports of that kind, thus you need not fear!

Sorry about this one, though, there's really nothing I can do!
