Move tool works when moving away from mesh center, but will not deform moving in towards mesh.
tried:
converting to Dynaymesh with same results
Clear MASK
Hi again, @sadicus
Let’s make sure we’re both on the same page here. By default, the Move Brush will slide points along the screen plane. If, however, you press and hold ALT after making contact with the Move Brush, it will slide points inward and outward along the normals.
Is this your experience?
If not, do you have multiple subtools visible, with one perhaps obscuring the active subtool? Perhaps a duplicate mesh? Try enabling “Solo” mode (Transform> Solo Mode by default, or on the bottom right edge of the vanilla UI viewport). This will make only the active subtool visible.
Also, in your screenshot Live Boolean is active. Disable that mode to avoid confusion with a Boolean effect.
Thanks for the variable checks!
OMG the culprit was BACKFACE MASKING was on!
Move brush + Xsym + Backface masking
