Draw Size Question

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I was at a recent ZB User Group and Paul from Pixologic showed us a way to keep the draw size uniform even if you move, rotate or scale your object, but for the life of me I can not find that note - does anyone know where I can find the control that turns this on and off?

Example: I am creating a seam using the stitch1 brush and a repeatable alpha - the seam is not all visible in one seam and twists and turns around the leather in this chair - when I move or rotate the model there are subtle changes in the size of the model so I need a way to standarize the brush draw size for the entire seam.

Also, if there was a way to further stabilize my direction of travel along an edge it would be freaking awesome - Lazy mouse is great, but is not really getting my stroke as steady as I would like - still experimenting, but it would be great to be able to lock a stroke along an edge loop:).

My thinking is that the command would be along the lines of “preserve draw size” or something along those lines. I assumed it would be under one of these; Brush, Draw, Preferences, Stroke or some type of Plugin, but so far no luck. Any ideas?

Solution (Thanks Paul Gaboury from Pixologic):

Using the Adjust Plugin do the following:

  1. at one size of model create a desired stroke
  2. click StoreDrwS
  3. reposition, rotate or scale model as desired
  4. click ResetDrwS

Rinse/Repeat as needed - works like a charm.

Only thing remaining is to further tweak my stability settings until they give us a way to follow an edgeloop with our stroke - but I suppose that might just take all the artistic touch out of it, lol.

Hello,
Where would I find this “adjust plugin”?

Thank you

Doh, I just realized to check the download center.
