[randomly doesn't undo while painting displacement map]

While doing displacement map painting, I usually get a random amount of undo, sometimes the undo doesn't work at all.

 

It gets frustrating because I could be brushing, and if something doesnt necessirily work, there's no UNDO!

 

I'm using version 4.5.19 CUDA DX64

[more and more smoothing, perhaps smear/blur?]

no one still interested on this?

I seriously think that would make a huge difference...

Right, this is mostly because a lot of the hand painted gen texturing devs (world of warcraft, diablo3, and other hand painted games) are also concepters or they like to paint that way.

Well at least I know some. Maybe not them all, but I'm sure they would love to have such tool. And specially for big companies like Blizzard. I'm just saying this would be a plus.

Not so much since the mixer brush tool pushes and pulls the color into it's direction, I mainly think it needs to stay only where the brush size is. But it could work like that.

I still think this is very important, thats why I'm bumping this thread.

[REAL Ambient Occlusion, Why we need it.]

bump here too. very needed

Oh I was mainly requesting smear for colors, not for voxels... Smudge is not a blur function. It creates a virtual mesh that distorts/push the colors on the brush direction. There's a huge difference inbetween Smudge and Smear. And what I am requesting here is Smear on painting tools only.

If you never seen Smear make sure to check on Painter/PaintTool SAI what it does. It can also be called wetness.

I think what it does on the background is it averages all the colors that are inside the brush size and paints it on top, which makes a lot of sense if you want to blend colors.

Hey Andrew is there a way to mix both? It takes quite some time to keep switching in between these.

Using smudge doesn't get the necessary effect, really.

Love 3d coat smoothing feature, it's a handy tool for blending colors, for sure!

But, here's my request. I'm really used to softwares like PaintSAI tool or even Painter that created the smear feature. It does a great job blurring the colors inbetween your own brush size.

I wonder if maybe increasing the smoothing would create that feature? Smoothing seems so weak on intensity compared to smear. I like smoothing, I just think it needs to be more pronounced.

For painting lowpoly models that would really help!
