@KristusDB @markiemusicpro Ah, right
Trickier with just brushes, but can be done.
I worked on reflex so was curious

[Ben Darling @BenJDarling]

@KristusDB @markiemusicpro What do you mean with reflex?

[Ben Darling @BenJDarling]

@SovanJedi What additional hardware do you use for hotkeys?

[Ben Darling @BenJDarling]

@timsoret Takes me back to neck pains trying to get into all sorts of positions based on lighting during long sessions

[Ben Darling @BenJDarling]
