surface vs. volume

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey all,

I didn’t find anything searching so I thought i would ask.

Is there a way to set brushes to follow the mesh surface instead of working in a volume all the time? If it’s there, I sure can’t find it.

For example, if I want to separate closed lips on a mouth and want to pull the lower lip down or just paint a mask on it, the brushes use the ‘volume’ of the brush size instead of ‘following’ the surface of the lower lip mesh.

Backface masking does not help in this instance.

Thanks.

G.

Try using the Nudge brush. This tries to slide points across the surface rather than move them in or out from it.

Thanks Aurick.

I’ll give that a try.
