Decorator Brush

The decorator brush in Sapien paints foliage, urban debris, and other objects on the floor of a Halo 2 scenario. It paints decorations in the scenario through decoration sets located in the Properties palette.

To use the decorator brush

1.      In the Hierarchy pane, click the Mission folder, the Structure Data folder, Decorator Brush, and then Edit Palettes.

2.      In the Object Class drop-down list, select the decorator set object class if it is not already selected, and then click Add.

3.      Browse to the decorator set you want to add (typically, in \tags\scenarios\decorators), click Add Tags, and then click Done.

4.      In the Properties Palette, select a decoration set.

5.      Click and drag the brush in the Game Window to paint details.
