How can I make a brush stroke ignore previous strokes when drawing over them (see pic)

[Zolly]

Hi I am using the Soft Clay brush, this brush has the property that when drawing it will not “build up” or ride up over itself on a single stroke if that stroke intersects it self. But when you go over or intersect a previous stroke it will ride up over the previous stroke.

I am looking for a way to set this brush so that it will not build up over previous strokes.

The only thing I found on this is the following, but this setting only controls build up on the current stroke.

Buildup

When applying brush strokes, information is constantly picked from the canvas and used to update the stroke.
If Buildup is turned off, the current brush stroke is ignored while picking the information, until the mouse/pen button is released.
If it’s turned on, the information is picked both from the canvas and from changes made by the current brush stroke.

How can I turn build up off for all strokes?

Thanks

Well, hello Zolly!

You can make brushes of the layer or chisel type do this with a combination of Lazy Mouse and the storing of a morph target. On the following page, read the section entitled “Non-buildup of overlapping strokes”.

Thanks Spyndel, But, I have used the feature you are referring to and it is a different result from what I am looking for. As you can see in the pic I posted I am not after a brush stroke that maintains the same height or depth upon intersecting another stroke, but rather a stroke that goes right through a previous stroke, and the resulting look it as if the new stroke has pressed down the existing stroke.

Some brushes, when combined with Lazy Mouse and a Morph Target can keep the same depth when they cross
