Spacing

• When enabled it will draw a smooth stroke when drawing on the surface by evenly spacing out dabs according to the spacing percentage.
• When disabled it will just draw dabs as fast as it can when painting with the brush

Percentage

Note that every channel has a different color. So if you change to the bump channel this will update to show the current color used for painting bump and when you switch back to the color channel it will display the previously used color used for painting on the color channel. You can switch channels via the Material View on the Local and Global tabs on the right.

If you are using a stamp, and the stamps "Use Stamp Color" is unchecked, then this color will be blended with the stamps intensity.
