[SOLVED] Pen rotates in wrong direction when controlling with pen tilt

Hi there,

First let me say thank you to the team for the fantastic product. However, I'm running into a very disorienting issue when trying to control brush rotation using pen tilt direction of the new surface pen on a surface book 2.

Whenever I rotate the pen tilt direction (counter)clockwise, I would expect the brush orientation to change in the same direction. However, the brush orientation is rotating counterclockwise when I change the pen tilt rotation clockwise, and vice versa in the opposite direction.

Ideally, the brush orientation would either always be perpendicular to the pen tilt direction, or always be parallel to the pen tilt direction.  Unfortunately, because the brush rotates in the wrong direction, the brush orientation is perpendicular to the pen tilt direction when the pen is pointed in one of the four cardinal directions, and parallel to the pen tilt direction when the pen is pointed diagonally. This makes it very unnatural to control the brush orientation with the pen tilt.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @tomerk11,

thank you for your feedback! Yes, we know about this issue and would like to fix it in the near future.
Would you be interested in helping us test this? We would send you a special version of Rebelle 3.

Thanks!

Hi Veronika,

I would be happy to help test it, thanks for the quick reply.

Great, I'll be in touch then!

tomerk11 — I have a similar problem when using a Wacom Art Pen and selecting Pen Rotation in the Rotation menu.  Rotating the pen clockwise makes the brush rotate counter-clockwise and vice versa.  Interestingly,  this worked just fine in the Demo, but not in V3.1 for Windows.

I continue to be delighted with this terrific applcation!

The issue with Tilt going the opposite direction is fixed in Rebelle 3.1 version :)

I seem to have this issue in latest version, 4.1.2. I don't know if it happened in earlier versions.

Actually, my problem is that the brush rotates the opposite direction when I use my Wacom Art pen's rotation. Not tilt.
