Member guats Posted February 6, 2019 Member Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hey there again, So I'm venturing into the realm of trying to create smooth sculpted meshes which is territory I haven't spent much time in. I'm doing fairly well, but I really wanted to use the splines to do some pinching and beveling and other functions. I've linked a gfycat vid to show how the projection doesn't sit where I would expect on my mesh. I hope it's obvious in the vid. That example is one of the better ones too. In another case the results were much further off the mark. Am I using the tool incorrectly? Does anyone have a vid showing the correct use? Thanks so much again https://gfycat.com/SpectacularFrailJoey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 6, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Okay so another more extreme example to help show this also... https://gfycat.com/EvergreenAgitatedAmericanblackvulture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted February 6, 2019 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Try increasing the Depth value considerably more. And you can hit the ENTER more than once if it isn't as pronounced as you want it the first time. The 2nd example, I don't know what would cause that. In the list menu toggle, choose ATTACH. Just to make sure all of them stick to the surface properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 6, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hey thanks for your reply. These are both the same issue. Attach doesn't help with this I'm afraid. It's just not doing what it is supposed to I'm fairly sure. The second vid is just that, increased depth to show the issue but more intense. Still stumped, would appreciate a solution, this is holding up my work. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Falconius Posted February 12, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 That's fairly strange. It looks to me like its always directly projecting the tool from the front view. Does this also occur on a new file test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I cant replicate this issue This are my settings. Have you used right button over the layer > To global space ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 13, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Okay so a fresh Voxel Sphere in a new scene seems to work fine. But same result if I go back to the mesh I was working on. The Global Space setting on the layer didn't stop this issue from happening as you can see in this GIF below https://gfycat.com/BreakableFatalIndianpalmsquirrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Scene scale is correct ? Geometry > Edit scene scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 13, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I'm not sure what 'correct' means? But here's what I got when I checked it. When I exported this back to Maya to retopo it came in at the correct size if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Have you tried exporting the volume as a 3B file and importing it back into a new clean project ? * RMB over the layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 14, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Okay just tried that. Eported as 3B from the layer and then went to File>Import Mesh for Voxelisation Same result, same issue Edited February 14, 2019 by guats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted February 14, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Here is a quicky, I sometimes get a pose tool bug and I have fixed it by merely moving the bugged object up the ' y' axis. Ya never know could be that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Please enable new curves in Preferences. Then add curve. Use RMB to access curve settings, I recommend show radius. Then apply curve in corresponding tool. On my side it works excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted February 21, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hey sorry to be a pain, but I can't see anything about 'new curves' in preferences. Are we talking in the Edit>Preferences bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
