hi,
Anyone know if you can disable the way the brush size cursor align to the surface? Its is quite annoying - I have looked but I cant find anything…
Damn this is annoying… Been trying for hours now… I would like to use a lifeline !!
I think I see the behavior you’re talking about, but I don’t see any setting to control it.
This is the new behavior of the editing-cursor and it can not be turned off. I will however, make a note of your request to be evaluated for future releases.
Support.
Thanks, I think it’s a bit annoying that it flips around, so an option between screen projection and mesh normal based sculption would be awesome. Both ways definitely has use.
I will stop looking for any settings now 
so the cursor now has that mudbox / artisan surface alignment ? cool. gives a nice tactile feel to sculpting i find. but what’s with not having that optioned zbrush devs ? poor form
I like it. It gives me a really good indication of where I’m sculpting.
Yeah sometimes its nice, but in some cases it’s really annoying - i.e., when moving on the edge/silhouette of the object.
Also I ran into a situation where I wanted to sculpt a hole for an eye, and suddenly the hole was sculpting sideways instead for from my POV.
I was wondering about the same thing. if the cursor aligns to the surface , it means it aligns to the surface normals, and if i want to gouge out something at an angle, I won’t be able to do that.I haven’t tested this. not a Mac user.
y’know i was thinking about this too and i think that there might be no difference to how zbrush has always behaved…
most (all?) of the brushes seem to take the normals into account - especially something like the inflate and smooth brushes and so the brush BEHAVIOR may be exactly as it’s always been…
it might just be a visual thing where before you couldn’t tell exactly what the center normal in zb was but now you can.
a complete guess - can anyone confirm difference in actual behavior as opposed to simple a graphical feedback diff of the drawing of the brush cursor?
