Hello Andrew,

I think this is a fairly simple request (I hope)

Please add a check box for " Stick to Surface" or the Sphere Tool in the Voxel room.

this simple feature would make things so easy to just build form with the sphere tool...

It drives me crazy that I am happily creating voxel "spheres" building surface as you would

in real life, slapping clay on an armature and all of a sudden the spheres take a turn inside the form and disappear :(

+ ++++ Please also add a "Depth" control for the sphere tool as in ZBrush's ZSpheres "Depth" control +++++++

Thank you for your time :)

Have you unchecked "Draw from first point" check box?Also sphere extrusion parameters.Look at tool options.

Maybe I misunderstand.

Hi,

Thank you.. it did work don't know how I overlocked this :)

however the "Depth" control is still missing as far as I have tried the extrusion does not affect depth.

Just as I can control "Depth" on the "On Pen" tool by increasing the depth this could be done with the

Sphere tool as well.

To see ZBrush's way please click the link below:

DEPTH CONTROL

Did you take a look at link as to what I mean by depth control ?

It works just like the images you linked to.

Numbers bigger than 1, offset the spheres from the surface. Numbers smaller than negative 1, bury them completely below the surface.

As I mentioned before, I see no difference in depth at all when I increase or decrease the values :(

are you on a PC or Mac ?

Could this be a bug ?

Hi Tom,

I did several tests and I briefly got it to work when I checked and unchecked the " Draw from first point "

However I can not reproduce the "Sphere Extrusion" ... so it must be a bug for sure !

Thank you for your & tree321's assistance :)

Update:

I got it to work again the key is "Stroke"

Sphere extrusion doesn't work with " Brush pressure affects radius and depth "

maybe not a bug... but I think that Andrew can polish this a lot more just like ZBrush's method,

it works with all kinds of strokes while giving more control on the depth.

So my request for this is still valid biggrin.gif
