Contributor Rygaard Posted July 6, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I would like to ask if there would be a way to use the Freeze (mask) in Voxels Mode in the Sculpt Room.I know that Freeze is used in the Pose Tool, Vox Extrude, Vox Layer ... Is it possible to use the Freeze with the Move Brush and the other sculpting Brushes in Voxels mode? Or some masking technique for sculpting tools on Voxels? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already knew that the freeze only functioned in Surface mode ... but I still had a very remote hope in Voxels.Thanks for taking the doubt!

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 8, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 You can use the HIDE tool to emulate freezing, in Voxel mode. It's visually not quite the same, but it does freeze the hidden area, which is a cool feature in certain circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you might have a remote chance of using the freeze in Voxel, since with the freeze you have the advantage of seeing the mesh that is frozen while working. It may be that one day there is a Freeze brush in Voxel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Voxel layer / Coat tools and merge later will help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not... but this may help in some circumstances.But thanks for the tip.Coat tool is fantastic, I confess I did not use it as I should. I will practice more with this tool.It would be to use Freeze on Voxels the same way we used it inside the Surface Mode.Where we could use any Brush (Move Brush or Sculpt Brushes) and sculpt the area with all visible mesh so we can get a sense of what we're doing in the surface area. Unfortunately, this is not possible in voxels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Since "pure" voxels include the entire volume of an object, surface "masking" doesn't really address the aspect of interior volume (a surface shading mask has no way to convey how deep the mask should penetrate into the volume).

Complex the world of voxels and surface!If there was a way to realize the freeze that happens in the Pose Tool for the other Brushes of the Voxels would be very interesting.For example, I know it would not be intuitive for users, but if the user could use the Freeze that comes from the Pose Tool, switch to another brush, that freeze would still remain on the voxels surface and so we could work in that area. It would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
