Displaying the Pencil Style Opacity Palette

Each scene that has texture pencil lines has a special texture palette, which is hidden by default. This palette is created for a scene when drawing the first pencil stroke with texture. In order to see the texture palette, you must enable the Advance Palette Lists preference. Once enabled, you will see a palette named penstyle_opacity in your scene's palette list.

It is also possible to assign a custom palette as your pencil texture palette. All textures used to draw in your scene will be added to this custom palette. This can be useful if you want to re-use the textures from an existing texture palettes, or to save your custom texture palette at the Environment or Job level so as to use it in several scenes.
