the smooth modifier within a brush ?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Is there a way to control the smooth modifier within the brush settings of say the clay brush? When the z intensity of the clay brush is strong I need the smooth modifier’s strength to be off or light. And when the z intensity of the clay brush is light I need the smooth modifier’s strength to be strong.

There’s an option for controlling the Brush Mod’s curve for the tablet’s pressure but it does not appear to take in effect the smooth modifier settings. It would be great if there were a curve to control the smooth modifier.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this effect in ZB 4.0?

Anyone? Any ideas?

I’m not sure I understand exactly.

So you’re wanting to change the Z Intensity for the clay brush and the smooth brush at the same time? Not that I know of.

Assuming you use the UI slider to change the Z Intensity I would just change the Z intensity of the clay brush up/down, then hold shift which changes to your smooth brush, and change it again accordingly since you’re already right there with your cursor.

Another thing you could do is save out brush settings at different intensities for both the clay brush, and the smooth brush then arrange them on a custom UI paired up so you can click each one (clay and smooth) really fast. Downside to this one is it would take a lot of saved brushes to cover the range of strengths you want, and that would take up a lot of UI real estate.

Hope that helps :confused:
