Masking with the Gizmo in the new P2 update no seems to be based on proximity. It used to mask along edge loops. Is there a way to revert this functionality without going back to an old update? Attached is an example of before and after.
I was running a script uploaded by another user that disables dynamic brush for all brushes, which switched the transpose to TransposeSmartMask. Subsequently, I went through every brush and overwrote the brushes in the zdata/brushpreset with my preferred settings. Took some time, but it now starts with dynamic off on on all brushes except Zmodeler, topo brush, and zguides. I highly suggest doing this for anyone with these issues, or if someone can make a script to perform this function, then do so.
Thanks for pointing out the TransposeSmartMask issue. I’ll correct the script.
If there were a script to, then, overwrite the brushes in zdata/brushpresets folder, the setting are saved at startup. I’m not very useful in the ways of scripting, so I overwrite them manually one at a time.
Although this is possible, it’s a little tricky and I found one or two odd results, so I’d rather leave it to individuals to back up and save their own brushes.
