Polypaint smoothing, it barely works for me.

Hi guys,

I keep seeing things online showing blending polypaint with the smooth brush. I even have a book (Introducing ZBrush) showing that as well.

I can do smoothing, but barely. I have my smooth turned up full, I’ve tried changing the focal shift, I’ve used a mouse and a wacom and each time the smoothing is barely noticable, yet I see on these examples online a lot of smoothing to the polypaint.

Is anyone else running into this issue? Is there another setting I’m not aware of that effects polypaint? Even if I scribble over the same area over and over barely any change is made as far as blending.

When using the Smooth brush, smoothing (blending) the polypaint works the same way as it does for smoothing the mesh. Smoothing will be stronger in lower resolutions, so lower the ‘SDiv’ slider if you want stronger blending of the polypaint…

Thanks guys!

It was too high of a subdivision level. Once I lowered it it blended much better
