sphereBrush: how to use

I haven’t been able to find a tutorial on this brush.
Correct me if I am wrong but it appears to be just a 2D brush. Is there a way to make it 3D ? How is it used are there any tutorials showing how to use it in the creation of a 3D sculpture ?

In case you were wondering, it is the brush to the right of the simple brush.

You’re right – it is a 2.5D brush which means it operates using pixols instead of polygons.

What you can do is drop your 3D model to the canvas using Projection Master. You can then use the Sphere brush on it. When you pick the model up again (assuming Deformation is turned on in the Projection Master settings) the 2.5D depth will be transferred to the sculpted model. Your model will need a fair number of polygons, of course. Otherwise the projected surface will look pretty jagged.

Thank you
