this is a request.
...if possible, I want to click gizmo more roughly.
clicking area of 3D-coat gizmo is strictly. that work is tiring.
+1. Having to slow down and focus on hitting that axis exactly really interrupts your sculpting workflow. Very annoying.

This bug has been reported before, but since I use the BaseBrush almost exclusively now, I hope this gets fixed.
The issue is that when Buildup is enabled for the Clay brush, the stroke becomes uncontrollable as if the effect is too extreme. This problem is more noticeable when using higher depth settings and when the mesh surface is at an angle to the camera. The buildup effect also seems to extrude in the direction of the camera and is not based on the vertex normals like Clays default behavior.

I tried. I just 15% in regular and when I change it into -15%, the brush feels like -15% x 100.
Try increase your brush spacing to .200. You can also lower the degree setting or adjust the degree curve.

I still don't fully understand how I can remove that "buildup" effect from inverse(ctrl)
I don't use plane offset. I just use the "copy settings from the Regular" and make sure I have a negative number in the degree settings.
-
The BaseBrush Copy/Paste Alpha bug seems to be back. You can perform this function once, but it won't allow you to make another adjustment to the curve and then copy/paste a second time.
-
BaseBrush: Dragging the Degree slider to negative numbers is broken. You can still input negative numbers via the keyboard.
-
BaseBrush custom presets won't retain the Spacing setting.
-
Local Symmetry seems to be broken when using the BaseBrush, unless the object is centered on the Global grid. Resetting the Symmetry doesn't help.
-
I recently started to notice a problem with the alpha rotation on brushstrokes in the Sculpt room. I mainly use the Surface and BaseBrush, so I can' t say if this applies to the Voxel brushes as well. It occurs randomly, about 25% of the time. I increased the spacing to make it easier to see the alpha rotation.
-
There is a problem with mesh corruption using the BaseBrush with "Remove Stretching" enabled, the Undo command and resampling.
-
Copy/Paste for BaseBrush alphas seem to only work on the first copy command. If you try to copy another different alpha, the first copied alpha will paste instead of the new alpha. You need to restart 3DCoat to clear that first copied alpha.
-
BaseBrush: I'm crashing 3D-Coat when I try to Copy/Paste alpha's in the Brush editor.

Thank you for fixing the bugs I posted about regarding the BaseBrush. So much nicer to use now.
I think I found 2 other issues:
1. BaseBrush>Add brush modifier>Clay Brush>CTRL Action>Copy settings from Regular = the Degree parameter won't convert to a negative number
2. BaseBrush>Add brush modifier>Vertex Normal Extrude (I haven't tested all the modifiers, but the few I did test had the same problem)>Adjust Depth Curve>CTRL Action>Copy settings from Regular>Press Ok>Test brush by pressing CTRL and drawing on object = Crash
I sent in the bug report.

BaseBrush: I'm having some issues with the Curve controls that affect depth.
1. The command to "Copy settings from the Regular" doesn't transfer a custom depth curve.
2. I can't get my custom depth curves to stick on any of my BaseBrush presets. I reinstalled 4.9.20 and it still is a problem. "Update Preset" also doesn't work .
Both of these bugs are still present in this latest build.
Also two other issues:
1. Moving these 2 points in the Edit Brush Shape window is hard because of the small area the cursor must be positioned.
2. Renaming a preset causes the Curve parameters to change.

For the BaseBrush: I noticed that the right points in the Left/Right Falloff Window (Edit Brush Shape) seems to be really hard to move. Also, the Buildup option doesn't seem to have any effect.
-
I use the Enter key to resample my mesh in Surface mode. When "Remove Stretching" is enabled on the Surface brushes, I noticed that I would get mesh corruption when undo is used. I haven't seen this problem when the Resample command is used, but I find it easier to just hit the Enter key if I want to remesh my object. Not sure what the difference is between the 2 functions or why we have 2 commands that do basically the same thing.
-
When "Remove Stretching" is enabled in Surface Tools, Undo requires 2 tries to undo an action.
-
The Build Brush is unstable at high depth settings. At low settings it's not noticeable, but as you raise the depth parameter, it becomes rough and uncontrollable.

1. I changed depth and radius curves, updated preset, switched to other one, switched back, all works as expected. Possibly you unselected storing depth/radius
2. Confirmed, will be fixed.
1. I did a clean install of 3D-Coat 4.9.08 to see if I had a corrupt file somewhere. I tried again and had the same problem. The first time I updated a preset is fine, but any additional updates won't be retained.

4.9.08
1. The Update Preset command doesn't seem to work with the depth and radius brush curves in the Sculpting Room.
2. 3DC doesn't remember my Preset window settings from the previous session. Even if I "Clear All" my presets, then load in a new set, then shut down. The next time I open up 3DC, I have an old set of presets in the Preset window and not the ones that were there when I shut down, previously. The only way to fix this is to manually delete the presets in my Documents/3D-CoatV49/Presets folder before I open 3DC.
-
I just noticed, while setting up custom depth and radius curves in the Sculpting Room, that simply opening and canceling out of the Preferences window will set my curves back to default.
Version 4.9.07

3D-Coat 4.9.07
Vox Clay Brush: Use Spacing seems to work inversely. Lower values cause wider spacing.
Voxel Extrude Brush: Use Spacing causes mesh holes and corruption.

Some of these suggestions sound really good, and I'm not a developer, but is it possible that performance could be negatively affected by these changes? Also, how difficult would it be and how long would it take to implement these new features?
One thing Andrew needs to think about is, if Blender continues to improve it's sculpting and painting abilities, how he can differentiate 3D-Coat from Blender. Maybe by better performance, or cleaner, easier to use UI?

Where is this setting, "Extrude effect center"? Is this the same as "Extrusion Strength" setting?
