Its one of the tools that comes with Paint Tool SAI when you first get it but I think the settings are changed a bit. How to make new brushes in SAI. Most of you probably already know how to make yourself brushes in SAI, but here it is just in case. Right click one of the light grey, empty boxes underneath your tools, and select a tool base.

VanillaHare Hobbyist General Artist. It is sort of like a start up software of Paint Tool SAI; I don't think it is needed for SAI, but it's helpful when you're. Paint Tool Sai isn't freeware, but the way it was designed makes it extremely easy to download. Several deviants have put up their versions for download, which comes with all the brushes they use, so you might want to search the journal portal for one, if you're alright with having an illegal copy.
The easiest way to install new brushes and textures in SAI is to understand how it works. I’ve personally found that tutorials or step-by-step guides are more confusing rather than helpful. My approach is to explain how SAI works instead. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated!
To install the brushes, place the images in same folders I have them in. It's wherever you installed Sai. Then place the start-sai file in the same folder where the Sai.exe file is. It should automatically update the brushes and create a backup as it starts up Sai. I wish Weasyl had better ways of handling resoruces like Brush.

HOW TO FIND WHERE PAINTTOOL SAI IS INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER
Locate the PaintTool SAI icon with which you launch it on your computer. It can be located on your Start Menu, or your desktop. Right click on the icon and you’ll get a menu like this. Click on Properties.
A window will appear. Click on the Open File Location button.
A new window will appear. This is where your SAI is installed with all its system files. Not that difficult, huh?
THE SAI FOLDERS
The only folders that interest us are blotmap,brushtex,elemap and papertex. If you open any of these folders you’ll see they contain BMP files, which are image files just like JPGs or GIFs.
blotmap and elemap contain the brushes shapes (“maps”). There are two types of maps which behave differently, which is why they are kept in two separate folders. They are the ones you choose here, on the brush panel:
brushtex contains brushes textures. A brush can have a certain shape and it can have a texture. For example, a simple circle brush shape can have a “dirt” texture. They are the ones you choose here, right below the brush shape:
papertex contains paper textures. Unrelated to brushes textures, these are textures you apply on a layer. On SAI they can be chosen on the Layers panel:
THE SAI CONF FILES
We are only interested on these configuration files: brushform.conf, brushtex.conf and papertex.conf. What are these files? They are lists of the things we described above. SAI handles three things: brush shapes, brush textures and paper textures, remember? Well, these three files are the master lists of those.
brushform.conf – Like its name says, this file contains the list of brushes forms (i.e. shapes or maps).
brushtex.conf – This file contains the list of brushes textures.
papertex.conf – Pretty straightforward, right? This one has the paper textures.
HOW TO EDIT A SAI CONF FILE
Double-click on a conf file to edit. Notepad should open with the file contents.
If that doesn’t work then right-click on the conf file you wish to edit. A menu will open. Try these methods, in order, until one works on your computer:
If there’s an “Edit” menu item, click it. Notepad should open with the file contents.
If there’s an “Open with…” menu item, click on it. If a submenu opens, choose “Notepad” from that submenu’s items.
If there’s an “Open with…” menu item, but a new window appears instead, choose “Notepad” from the list of programs.
Sorry if I didn’t provide screenshots at this point.
Now you should have a conf file open, which looks like this:
Paint Tool Sai Brushes Download Deviantart Pc
Each line describes an item on SAI’s lists and refers to an image file located in the folders. Each line must follow this format:
number,path to the BMP image file
For example, the first line in my brushform.conf is:
1,blotmap/Noise.bmp
Where blotmap is the folder and Noise.bmp is the BMP image file we’re referring to.
Now, about that number, it follows this simple rules:
For brushtex.conf and papertex.conf, the number is always 1. No worries there.
For brushform.conf, the number is 1 for blotmaps and 2 for elemaps. Remember we wrote before there were two type of brush maps?
So, finally…
HOW TO INSTALL NEW BRUSHES AND TEXTURES
Up to this point I assume you’ve understood all previous explanations. Installing is quite simple:
Go to the folder where SAI is installed.
Copy or uncompress the new brush or texture image files on the folders specified by the brush or texture author (i.e. elemap, blotmap, brushtex or papertex).
Edit the corresponding conf file or files.
Restart SAI (quit and open it again).
Usually you’ll download a brush or texture from a source and the author will try to explain how to install them. And usually the part where everything gets confusing is in editing the conf files. If the author provides a conf file, always remember you should never overwrite yours with it. You’re expected to append its contents to your own conf file.
CONF GUIDELINES FOR BRUSHES:
Each BMP file should now be added as a new line on brushform.conf in the format we described previously:
I'm am not asking why this is happening but an explanation of why would be appreciated if you can also solve the problem. Utorrent will not download. Bitcomet also metioned something about a listening port being blocked and would it be unsafe to download a torrent from some website (like bitlet or fuge) on a school wireless connection.
number,path to BMP image
For Brushes, there can be two types: a blotmap or an elemap.
If the file is a blotmap, put a number 1.
If the file is a elemap, put a number 2.
If you weren’t told what type it is, open the BMP file and compare:
So, for example, I downloaded a Coconut brush and I was instructed to save it on blotmap. The line I should add to brushform.conf is:
1,blotmap/Coconut.bmp
Example 2, if I downloaded a Fly brush and it’s an elemap, the line I should add to my brushform.conf is:
2,elemap/Fly.bmp
You can add this line anywhere you want in the list. I usually move a brush to the top when I use it frequently and becomes a favorite.
CONF GUIDELINES FOR TEXTURES
For brush textures, copy or uncompress the files on the brushtex folder. For paper textures, put the image files on the papertex folder. Then add new lines for each new image on brushtex.conf for brush textures or papertex.conf for paper textures. Examples:
1,brushtex/Noise 3.bmp

Yoyoyo! That is SO relevant right now! I just found out about this yesterday but as of the very latest version of Sai 2 (20180920) they offer custom brushes! I don't mean those stupid textures that don't look all that good, but actual stamp like brushes like in photoshop! I don't know if the others before me mentioned it, but it's fairly new so not everyone knows about this feature I think.. Aside from that.. No I haven't experienced any bugs with my SAI 2 (I haven't tested the 20180920 version in dept yet since I updated just yesterday), and it's still pretty lightweight (i.e. works pretty well on my older PC too). I also haven't had any issues with loading and saving. The only thing I'm low key annoyed with is the fact that new canvases are by default 'white background', and if you want to save transparent pngs you need to go to canvas, background color, and select transparent (I always run into this trap, when I try to save transparent pngs and then wonder why it isn't transparent.) But unless you exclusively save in png and don't use sai files, this isn't a major problem. The interface is quite different. Especially the latest version that I spoke of above. Because of the stamp like feature there are more configuration options for the brushes, and there's now a small preview window for how the brush looks (which also is dope af, because before I used to have to try out the settings) And a few other things, that I liked a lot: I used to have to switch to Photoshop for adjustments, but SAI 2 now has gaussian blur, and more layer modes (almost as many as Photoshop and also brush modes in the latest version). Also you can now add text directly in SAI 2, so no need to switch to Photoshop to add a watermark! It also has rulers (different kinds I think, I don't use these), shapes (circle, square, etc; I don't use these either), and gradients (straight gradient and circle gradient, very convenient too) tl;dr SAI 2 is stable No problems with saving/loading (but default is non-transparent) New features: - gaussian blur <- god bless - layer & brush modes < pretty convenient - Text tool<- god bless - Rulers <- I don't care much about that - Shapes <- I don't care much about that - Gradients <- pretty convenient - stamp like brushes <- god bless - brush preview <- god bless For the stamp like brushes see this journal: Paint Tool SAI 2.0 with actual BRUSH!!!
