QuickPaint Hot Keys

The following table lists the QuickPaint node hot keys.

Note: In Mac OS X, Exposé is mapped to F9-F12 by default. To use these keys in Shake,
disable the Exposé keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences.

QuickPaint Parameters

The following section lists the QuickPaint node parameters.

Note: The QuickPaint node should not be used inside of macros.

The controls in the QuickPaint node are divided among three nested tabs within the
Parameters tab:

Paint Controls

The parameters in this tab control how new strokes are drawn.
