Hello I notice that sometimes I use the draw mask tool on a piece of geometry and it only has a light intesity, however I adjust the z Intensity to full and it has no change. It is the same way with the smooth tool.
How do I change the tools intensity. Please help. Thanks
on Masking:
By default the mask will always be applied at full intensity regardless of the zIntensity value.
Just to clear up a point here, the slider on the smooth brush button does not control the intensity, but is rather a cavity effect:
“its slider controls the ‘direction’ of the smoothing effect. If set to a positive number the brush will smooth the recesses of the form more strongly. If set to a negative number it will smooth the high points of the form more strongly. If set to 0, performs a full smooth. For example, set this to 100 to fill a valley containing mountains with silt; the tips of the peaks will be retained.”

To adjust the intensity of the smooth brush, you need to use Z intensity as you do for Std brush. However, the smooth has Z intensity at 100 by default so you cannot increase its effect without going down in subd level or increasing the brush size.
That helped a lot. I don’t know how I did it but the intensity was set real low. I changed it and it helped.
