why the deformation?

Hi… me again! jeeze I seem to spend all my time asking questiuons and no time sculpting!

so have a look at the image, my question is this, why when I sculpt with tools like claytubes does a cavity appear on the oposite corresponding area of the tool? and can I stop it happening.

the one in the image was a cube 3d, I deformed it in the deformations pallet to make something I could sculpt a blade from, but now I cant use it for anything I was sculpting with claytubes.

thanks in advance

In the Brush palette, turn on Backface Masking.

And more general… don’t forget the power of masking! And don’t forget the fact that you can HIDE masked geometry.

Happy deforming
