The plug-in allows you to control the paintbrush eraser along a path generated by the character alpha selection and erase chunks of the character.

The additional use of paintbrush dynamics and animated brushes allows room for a lot of experimentation; examples and dialog setting in the next post.

First examples using a solid square brush and a solid circular brush:

Last example double dipping with the animated brush to modify first the character border and then the interior of the character.

Have fun...
