Sphere brush with line stroke doesn´t work at all in new release (v2021.73)

[jimhatama]

Sphere tool not only not fixed it is actually even more bugged now  .73

also axis flicker  on screen when new dot placed. Red curve also shows that it is still broken with curves

 

also sphere tool  should use veiew plane for line mode, right now it seems to use vertex normals or totally random when placed on empty spots

There still seem to be some problems with the sphere tool

A UI problem of drawing the room: the old version will have obvious color hints for the selected tools, but the new version does not. It is difficult to distinguish the current tools.

[Tubor]

Eraser problem for paint room: After erasing the corresponding area, a patchy residue will appear in the intersecting area after repeated erasing.

Discovered rather serious bug with flat brushes. Somehow alpha or normal calculations are wrong on thin surfaces. Making it impossibe to use flat tools on them

[jimhatama]

It doing this instead of flattetning 

[jimhatama]

How it is supposed to work from 4.9 and other programms. 

Can we at least add this legacy flattening brush from 4.9? while issues with new brush are sorted? I really need to get projects done and all this really slows it down 

Thats actually not only for thin surfaces but all uneven surfaces. Usually u want to flatten uneven surfaces from sculpt, but 2021 coat actually make it worse instead of flattening

@jimhatama Flat Polish is working fine ?

[storm36969]

I found 2 HUGE Problems..  Inside the Modeling Room.  

 

#1.) There is NO Way to get Rid of reference images other than to hide them, we need a way to delete them

 

#2.) The reason you can NOT Load hotkeys is that it is looking for a file with the extension hotkeys, the extensions in 2021 are *.xml now.

        This needs to be fixed badly, I'm unable to try loading other hotkey files because of this.

 

#3.) Where are our theme files for the interface?

 

Please correct these simple issues, it's killing me that I am really unable to customize it right.  I would love to have the modeling room setup after silo3D's Hotkeys.

 

Thanks,

I solved the preview pane reference images not showing up, it was off in file explorer.

the rotate along stroke doesn't seems to work properly anymore, i remember it working fine when doing a rotation the the alphas

thanks

all flat brushes have above bug. try flattening uneven thin surface and then compare to 4.9 version or zbrush or even blender.

I am trying to reproduce it in 73/74 but no luck. I placed 2 spheres in the same volume, chosen lines mode, clickid on one, then on second and vice versa. All worrks as expected. The one thing I noticed - curve & sphere works incorrectly (int plane, not in space), I will corect it.

Please help, maybe someone has ideas whe exactly it happens? Does anyone able to reproduce?

Ok, found the reason. It happens if the volume transformed.

I saw it on .72 but can't reproduce it in .74 (all fixed now except for curve (the green one) which works on plane from first point).
