I'm a beginner digital painter and am looking for ways to make my process more fluid.
Ideally I'd like a plugin that lets me change:
By having a key for each that I hold, and then click and drag on my Wacom tablet.
I know that size and hardness can already be changed by using the alt key in a similar manner, but I want to do this for everything.
Any ideas? As a last resort I think I'll learn how to write plugins.
Writing a plugin sounds like a cool project, but before you do that, know that there is the HUD colour picker. You can assign it's keyboard shortcut to a single key on your Wacom.
For brush size and hardness you are already aware that you can hold alt and drag left/right for one and up/down for the other. Assign that to a Wacom key too.
For opacity, well, you could map that to the Wacom pen's pressure or tilt sensitivity. But there's no hold-a-key-and-move-the-mouse type solution that I'm aware of.
Taken together, this should get you pretty close.
