I made my own foot steps alpha for the brush. Is there a way to make directional brush stoke to print foot steps following the mouse curor path?
You have the button “Repeat Last”
who redraw exactly the same mouvment of your cursor during the last action!
Very useful in some situation!

There is no way for the alpha to rotate to anything other than 90 degree increments, and there is no way to tie rotation to mouse direction.
Hi Jay
You can rotate an Alpha with the Cameyo Zplace Script and the mouse direction too 
Pilou
huh… I will look into cameyo’s zplace. I never like to load zscripts. I wish it was already in menu or something
Frenchy,
Cameyo’s ZPlace is for 3D object.
What I posted is for texture and freehand brush in 2D mode.
No Washington !
Cameyo’s Zplace run also with a simple brush!
Take normal brush + Stroke Drag Rec + rgb 100% + Alpha as you want
:large_orange_diamond: Draw one brushing
:large_orange_diamond: "Get Status"
:large_orange_diamond: "Snap On"
And you can move your brush as a car tele-guided with the numeric keyboard 
You can of course change the X Y move for obtain any angle 
But Alas Rotation can’t work 
For this you must transfert your brush on a plan 3D and now rotation will work perfectly

Hi Washington
Choose an Alpha (here the Star Alpha)
Sub Menu Alpha /Transform in Texture
Sub Menu Texture / Transparent On
Menu Tool Choose Plan 3D
Menu Tool/Modifier/Sub Menu/Selection/Mask All/ Import texture by Intensity
= You have your Alpha on a plan 3D
And Cameyo’s ZPlace Can play 
And all rotation as you want
If you take just one orientation
you obtain the same than a rotation of an alpha in 2D and with any degre°
Hope this help!
Pilou
Alpha still won’t rotate and follow the mouse
If you can please post zscript
Nevermind 
I gotta try again!!
Frenchy
Did you mean Plan 3D as Plane 3d ?
Hi Washington
Of course a plan3D is a 3D object but
as I said using with only one rotation it’s the same than an Alpha 2D
Look the little stars alone on “front on view” above
Pilou
Ps and a plan 3D can have any “altitude” just a flat form
Pss Plan3D is the primitive inside the prog in Menu Tool
With plane 3D would not be something I want. I only want to rotate the brush with alpha for cleaner and silk lines.
I wish I could post images here because it is not my computer and I do not have internet access with my Tablet PC
Pss Plan3D is the primitive inside the prog in Menu Tool page 148 of the Manual
Pssss You right it’s planE3D
Sorry in french it’s “plan” (for one time french is smaller than english :rolleyes:
Pilou
Hi Washington
You rotate your plane3D with the Cameyo method above !
And you MrgbzGrabbed it !!!
You have your NEW Alpha 2D rotated as a BRUSH that you want 
Rustic but efficient
Pilou
I failed with Cameyo’s ZPlace
I will not deal with it anymore
Ok here is my example:
Alpha with two pins follows the mouse path drawn on the document. Blue pin is for forward and red pin is for rear to behave like a gravel rake. It is one of my wish list I posted it in other section. The pins can be re-positioned by user.
The pins might need a compression coefficient on tight turns or they might get stuck in the grooves.
[humour] A sponge stamping mechanism attached to the rake would allow you to blur or stencil stamp the lines in one swift movement. saving time.[/end]
PS. Thanks for your help Frenchy.
The reason I suggested two pins is because with current version of zBrush I am stuck with one way brush stroke. I can’t turn left/right or it will make messy. It is nothing fancy and it is a native mechanism like a true brush. You can not rotate the brush+alpha with tablet/mouse. But with this suggested mechanism you can!!
My wife is artists and she painted with oil, pastel, coal etc… With oil you would have to turn left or right with several different kinds of brush or knives to make special effects. Nothing in real world is one way direction.
