philnolan3d Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 This isn't really much of a tutorial but more of an idea that I thought might help others as much as it does me. If you sculpt with many layers, which I think is a good idea, what I did on my current WIP is create 2 empty layers called Finished and Workspace, then each time I created a new layer I parented it to Workspace as as I finished it I changed the parent to Finished. What this mainly accomplishes is that I frequently found myself hiding all of the layers except the one I'm currently working on. This isn't so bad when you have a couple but when it gets to be 10 or more it becomes quite cumbersome. So after parenting them now you can just click one icon and the whole group gets hidden. It may not seem like much but it feel like a huge difference. You can also hit the little minus icon to collapse the group of course, keeping things tidy.

philnolan3d Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Glad it can help, as I was writing it I was starting to wonder if it was too obvious and everyone was already doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
