Hi :) <br>
Here are my thinking about the brushes : <br>
<br>
1) For simulating hair, custom brush mask does really well the job
normally ; no need of a special brush engine for this IMO ( exept
if a tweaking as I refer in '5' can work ) ; <br>

<br>
2) For dragon scale and textures ; dynamic layer effect such "bevel
and emboss" make magic when painting on. I miss it a lot from my
Photoshop old usage.<br>

<br>
3) Of course , embedded texture in stroke ( working with brush mask
) are ideal. I spoke of it yesterday on IRC with N-pigeon :) <br>

<br>
4) About mixing brush , this is what I wait to make krita equal to
the feature I abuse of Gimp-painter , this feature is present in
SAITool , Open Canvas, Project Dogwaffle , Painter, Artrage etc... a
must have for painting apps ... Weirdly appear in Photoshop only at
CS5 <br>

<br>
5) I would really like to get the brush engine of Lukas ( hairy and
soft brush noise ) can thicker the noise ( limited to one pixel ) .
I already talked about it, but it seamed really complex to replace
the 1pixel noise by a bigger size. The 1px width is not really
usefull when painting in HD/Printing quality, because it add more
noise. ( exept for the fake charcoal of the arabian teapot I drew
month ago ; at 100% size of the viewport ) SAITool looks to have
the same kind of brush engine where the noise particles can be
thicker : it result with really cool pastel/chalky effect for noise
; and for hairy brush really cool brush strokes ( they name it Oil )
. I guess this is faster to compute than bitmap brush mask. <br>

I hope all of this can helps.<br>
Happy new year <br>

Last time I tried it, it was to regular and rough, but I do mean masses

Masses of hair would indeed be very cool to have. I've no idea yet about the algorithms yet, though I remember reading an article somewhere on how to achieve good looking masses of hair manualy. Should be possible to turn that algorithm into a brush engine :-)
