Member DRAWINGTANK Posted September 24, 2011 Member Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hello Andrew, I think this is a fairly simple request (I hope) Please add a check box for " Stick to Surface" or the Sphere Tool in the Voxel room. this simple feature would make things so easy to just build form with the sphere tool... It drives me crazy that I am happily creating voxel "spheres" building surface as you would in real life, slapping clay on an armature and all of a sudden the spheres take a turn inside the form and disappear + ++++ Please also add a "Depth" control for the sphere tool as in ZBrush's ZSpheres "Depth" control +++++++ Thank you for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor tree321 Posted September 25, 2011 Contributor Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Have you unchecked "Draw from first point" check box?Also sphere extrusion parameters.Look at tool options. Maybe I misunderstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I misunderstand. Hi, Thank you.. it did work don't know how I overlocked this however the "Depth" control is still missing as far as I have tried the extrusion does not affect depth. Just as I can control "Depth" on the "On Pen" tool by increasing the depth this could be done with the Sphere tool as well. To see ZBrush's way please click the link below: DEPTH CONTROL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Tom K Posted September 25, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 however the "Depth" control is still missing as far as I have tried the extrusion does not affect depth. The sphere extrusion is the depth. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DRAWINGTANK Posted September 25, 2011 Author Member Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The sphere extrusion is the depth. Tom Hi Tom, Well if the extrusion is the spheres depth then it doesn't work at all or at least on the Mac side, the extrusion has no affect at all. Did you take a look at link as to what I mean by depth control ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Tom K Posted September 26, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Did you take a look at link as to what I mean by depth control ? It works just like the images you linked to. Numbers bigger than 1, offset the spheres from the surface. Numbers smaller than negative 1, bury them completely below the surface.

Tom As I mentioned before, I see no difference in depth at all when I increase or decrease the values are you on a PC or Mac ? Could this be a bug ?

Member DRAWINGTANK Posted September 26, 2011 Author Member Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm a PC. Must be a bug. Tom Hi Tom, I did several tests and I briefly got it to work when I checked and unchecked the " Draw from first point " However I can not reproduce the "Sphere Extrusion" ... so it must be a bug for sure ! Thank you for your & tree321's assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your & tree321's assistance Update: I got it to work again the key is "Stroke" Sphere extrusion doesn't work with " Brush pressure affects radius and depth " maybe not a bug... but I think that Andrew can polish this a lot more just like ZBrush's method, it works with all kinds of strokes while giving more control on the depth. So my request for this is still valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
