Curve stroke function problems

Hi all,

I don’t seem to get along very well with the curve stroke function.

My main issue is that I don’t seem to be able to find a definite way of getting it to perform over the whole curve. Most of the time I can get it to sculpt across part of the curve but it will just suddenly stop half way along.

It also seems to sometimes do the opposite to what I want. So I’ll sometimes want it to cut in but instead it will extrude out. This is usually when using the Dan_standard brush.

I also don’t like the way I can’t get it to actually lock in one place while performing the action. It’s like I have to drag it along slightly to get it to actually sculpt or paint into the mesh. But by doing this the shape of the curve is changing slightly.

I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but from the tutorials I’ve seen this appears to be the only way of doing it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

i have had similar issues and others have posted they are also seems only on high poly models for me tho , it either doesnt go
all the way or crashes. curves work along the points of an edge loop and seem to run out of memory on high polys models -
maybe qremesh a clone at a lower poly target then append the curve to the higher - sometimes just make polymesh again works also-
good luck
