Why there are no tilt-driven brushes in the default MyPaint package?
Is there exists any brush pack compatible with 1.0 that makes use of tilt?

I don't have a tilt-capable stylus myself, but in current git (and probably 1.0) there are a few in the "classic" pack:

• classic/marker_fat, classic/marker_small, and classic/blending_knife use the ascension of the stylus relative to the pad to drive the angle of the mark ("Right ascension of stylus tilt. 0 when stylus working end points to you, +90 when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, -90 when rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.")
  
• The classic markers drive the shape of their dabs from the declination ("Declination of stylus tilt. 0 when stylus is parallel to tablet and 90.0 when it's perpendicular to tablet."). The blending_knife dies something I don't understand with its smudge length from that input (presumably flatter=longer)

The "puantilism" and "impressionism" brushes seem to do something too, but that's less understandable from reading the code It'd be lovely to see some examples of the different shapes and smears you can get with some of these parameters.

Hi,
Instead of start a new thread, I'll just resurrect this one as I pretty much have the exact same question.

I'm quite interested in tilt-enabled brushes as well; it's why I went with an Intuos =]
I'm setting up a brush-set of ONLY tilt-enabled brushes, and have been working on some of my own to add to it. Aside from the two mentioned, anyone have a list of other tilt-enabled brushes throughout all the available downloadable brushpacks? ... I've been working thru them all, but it's sometimes hard to tell if or how a brush is tilt-enabled without explicitly looking thru all the settings, which is a seriously tedious PITA.  I'm not asking anyone to do this FOR me, just any already-known tilt-enabled brushes.
=D thanks!!

also, a question re: setting up tilt-enabled brushes. When setting the tilt-degree limits in the details-graph, I assume that means the graph is applied within the defined tilt-limits and NOT that the pen simply doesn't read outside the defined limits. I'm finding it can help a bit to not half to hold the pen nearly parallel to the tablet to get the effect I need, but I'm just not sure I'm actually using the parameters "correctly".
