Hi, dear 3D-Coat Developers. Hope you will improve this soon. 

In Maya we can Blur colors with no restrictions. These masks are very important in creating a smooth transition in the hair.

For example, here's a job I did recently.

But in Maya it is still inconvenient to do it. All the drawing tools that we have in 3D-Coat - I like more and I want to continue to promote them in my lessons. But only one thing stops me =)

Limited Blur ... It does not completely blur the border between colors.

This is how it looks in Maya.

If more examples are needed, I'll record them =) But all the advice that you gave here on the forum does not help. We just need to improve the Blur brush or create a new one. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs this feature ....

Thank you and have a great day
Best regards,
Andrew.

 I found a solution with changing the resolution to smaller, for example 512*512px - then I do a blur and go back to 4K. But here is another problem - when I change to 512*512px, small details that were drawn in 4K are lost. I wish they were saved, like in Substance Painter for example.

That is, there are two solutions to the problem:

1. Just add more power to Shift so that we can blur the edges - like in Maya or Mudbox( like in 512*512px)
2. Solve the problem with saving details from 4K when switching to 512*512 and back.

Video with demonstration -
At 4:08 - I show the problem with the loss of detail.

Thank you and have a great day
Best regards,
Andrew.

Okay, I've already recorded how the Blur Tool works in Maya, but I'd also like a feature that would also help in drawing hair masks.

The point is that the strength of the color and blending depends on the pressure. I recorded an example in Paint Tool Sai, if you take a black color and press lightly - it will mix with the color that is on the object. If you press harder, black will show up stronger, same with white or any color.

@Andrew Shpagin please improve blur tool. Because already tired of racing in Mudbox, when 3D-Coat better like, but there is not enough of this feature...

Thank you.
Best regards,
Andrew.
