## Color

These three tabs give you complete control over the color, thickness and opacity of lines. They enable you to create any type of line effect, from simple lines that fade out to complex brush effects. Each tab works in a similar way:

- Set the general color, thickness and opacity using the Color, Thickness and Opacity settings at the top of the tabs.
- Modify the color, thickness and opacity using the modifier options. To switch on a modifier, enable its option. You will see its settings appear in the bottom part of the tab, where you can adjust them.

### Color

Parameter ID: `OUTLINEMAT_COLOR`

Use this setting to define the common color.

### Brightness

Parameter ID: `OUTLINEMAT_COLOR_BRIGHTNESS` · Range: [0..10000%]

Use this setting to define overall brightness.

With a few exceptions, each tab has the same modifier options. For example, the **Along Stroke** modifier is present on all three tabs.

Python

> **Tip:** In order to use this very powerful modifier, you should have a good command of Python, which is the script language implemented by Cinema 4D. For details about the Python programming language, visit http://developers.maxon.net.

The Python modifier lets you create virtually any medium or style, from a simple pencil to a complex brush, using the powerful Python programming language.

> **Tip:** This modifier is available on the Color and Opacity tabs only.

With the exception of the **Python** modifier, this is the most powerful modifier in Sketch and Toon. It offers considerable control over the rendering of the lines and enables you to create countless brush effects.

# Making a brush with the Texture modifier

![Image: 002959.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/002959.jpg)\
Figure 1.

- Start a new scene and draw a spline similar to the one above.
- In the **Material Manager**, choose **Create / Materials / New Sketch Material**.
- In the render settings, on the **Effects** tab, select the Sketch material and on its Lines tab, enable the **Splines** option.
- In the **Material Manager**, double-click the Sketch material to display its settings in the Material Editor.
- On the Thickness tab, set Thickness to, say, 30 pixels. On the Color tab, enable the **Along Stroke** option and define a gradient.

![Image: 002960.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/002960.jpg)\

Figure 3.

- On the Opacity tab, enable the **Texture** option and in the Texture settings that appear, click the Texture triangle and choose **Load Image**. Use the dialog that opens to load the chalk_chunky.jpg texture from Cinema 4D's library/pattern location.
- Set **Spacing** to 8% to form a continuous line of tiles (Figure 3, right line).
- The stroke looks too uniform. For a more natural effect, set the Variation value for Size to 20% and the Variation value for Angle to 10%. This varies the size and direction of the tiles (Figure 4, left line).
