A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for simulating bristle brush behavior and generating vector output from such simulations. User input may represent a stroke made by a paint brush comprising multiple bristles sweeping across a canvas. A vector representation of the brush stroke's effects may be generated by, for each of the plurality of bristles: determining a path along which the bristle has swept, and generating a vector representation of the path along which the bristle has swept (e.g., a set of B&#xe9;zier curves, or straight line segments). The vector representation of the effects of the brush stroke may comprise the vector representations of the paths along which each of the plurality of bristles has swept. The vector representations of the paths of each bristle sweep may be composited over each other in an image editing application to depict the brush stroke for display and/or for printing.

Generating vector output from a physical simulation of a bristle brush

Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for processing digital artwork. In one aspect, the techniques process aggregations of artwork where both the aggregation and at least some of the aggregated artwork have attached styles. The techniques handle various combinations of conditions resulting in applying style elements to the aggregation before or after applying style elements to underlying artwork. In another aspect, the techniques implement editable path objects having multiple attached fills and/or strokes. The techniques provide user interfaces for using the foregoing features.

A method of blending artwork objects. In the method, user input is received selecting a first parameter setting and a second parameter setting for an effect on an object. The first parameter setting, the second parameter setting and a blend parameter setting are passed to the effect. A third parameter setting is generated in the effect from the first parameter setting, the second parameter setting and the blend parameter setting. The effect is applied to the object with the third parameter setting to generate an rendered version of the object.
