Help with creating an IMM or Extrude Profile Brush

[Greggerz]

Hi,
Ive tried experimenting and looking around online for an answer to no avail.

I want to create 2 brushes - 1 with a circular profile and one with a square.

I want to use the curve stroke as line effect with the curve brush but have no subdivisions within so I can draw a cylinder or rectangle from one snapping point to the next, without any obstruction geometry between my start and end snap effect the stroke. I would also like no twisting. Just a straight line. I have shown an example below of what I mean but for the life of me I cant figure out how to do it.

If someone could advice me that would be highly appreciated.

For the circular cross section you could use the CurveTube brush. For the square cross section make your own.

With either brush first set Picker:Cont Z so that the curve will snap to all depths under the pen as it’s drawn. Then Tool:EdgeLoop:Delete Loops to remove most of the edge loops in between the ends of the curve. Clean up the remaining interior edge loops with the Zmodeler brush (Edge Action Insert Edge loop but hold ALT to delete the edge loop when you click on it)

Note that there will always be a slight twist unless the surfaces at the two ends are coplanar, which for the dog or other organic sculpt seems highly unlikely.
