Brush Tips
Photoshop has a huge variety of brush tips to use for painting. In After Effects it seems that all you can do to the brush tip is ajust its angle, softness, and width. There are no fancy tips that paint with star shapes or a spray paint look that has “more noise” in the tip. Is it possible to import the tips from Photoshop in to After Effects? Or is there a bursh tip that looks like spray paint in the program already that I’m just not finding?
Let me know what you think
Thanks

As far as I know AE can not do this yet. I’ll bet the next version of AE will have this.

Particle Playground should be able to do this – if I recall correctly, the procedure was explained here a while ago. What you need to do is to have a single layer of the brush tip to be used as a Layer Map. Then when spraying the particles (with Canon position used to control the area to be painted), switch off gravity and make the particles stick where they are sprayed with Static Friction.

ahh yes,and Particular would do this as well. But not quite as intuative as using a brush.
We will have to wait for this feature. -
I was thinking that it might be a future feature to wait for… but using particles is an excelent idea! I never thought about that. I found a work around for what I was tring to do any way. I wanted to be able to paint on layers and have it look like an acutal brush did it. What I ended up doing was making a bunch of randum induvidual paint stroke pictures in Photoshop (White on black). Then used Render-Stroke in AE to animate the stroke of the bursh with reveal image turned on. Composed all the brush strokes in a precomp and used that precomp as a track matte on my images.
Gave me the exact result I was looking for.
Thanks for your suggestions
Presto
