Introducing the New BrushCue Editor

By Anthony Dito

A new BrushCue editor with an interactive canvas, sidebar, thumbnails, expressions, and improved UI.

Over the past month we have been hard at work bringing our editor into a more sophisticated state. Here are some of the improvements that we've made.

  1. The canvas is now properly interactive. You can drag layers around. You can scale. Everything you would expect.
  2. We moved away from our graph based user interface and now replaced it with a more traditional sidebar. You can see how your operations stack to produce your final result.
  3. Thumbnails! In the sidebar, and throughout the editor, you will see thumbnails for each operation in your project. We've found this makes it much easier to edit.
  4. Expressions. For computations, you can now use Excel like expressions to set values. (SIN("Time") / 10) + "Size".x. Anything that you can set your mind to.
  5. Sliders, and other UI. There are now sliders and other more usable UI elements.
