brush/stroke options persistant.. sometimes.

It seems like sometimes my brush settings will follow me to my next brush, and sometimes not. It’s kind of annoying. For example- Say I’m working with the clay tubes brush, which has a specific alpha, zintensity, etc. I switch to the flatten brush to clean a few areas up, and when I switch back to the claytubes brush suddenly I don’t have an alpha selected, and any other options I’ve made will stick as well (such as lazy mouse, or the brushMod).

But sometimes it doesn’t!! Is there a specific set of circumstances where these settings will stick, and when they wont? Or is it totally random in order to liven up the sculpting process :lol:

In all seriousness, is there a way to make these options stay for the brush I’m using, but not any of the others? It’s pretty frustrating to set up my layer brush with lazy mouse, a nice alpha, etc only to go back and undo it when I go back to another brush… and then back and forth.

I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced this. My brushes always hold their settings and alphas until I change them or I restart the program.

If you can find a reproducible process that makes this happen, post it so someone else can try it.

it may be due to my using hotkeys… i never really noticed it until I started using hotkeys for my brushes. but still, i dunno. I’ll try to reproduce it at some point

i think this is an old bug that should be fixed in the next update, its not normal behaviour.
also you might want to look into the Reset Brush plugin, that might help, or save your brushes if you use them a certain way a lot.
