Well I just can’t figure out the interface of the sculpt tools in 2.78B. If I select a brush in the tool panel, it seems like it is ok. However, if I select a brush from the brush menu with sculpt tool, the name doesn’t change in the panel. Sometimes the picture changes but not to the same brush name everytime. I have reloaded Blender. Reset to Load Factory Settings. Still confused. Does this mean that the data block showing in the name panel is the one saving the settings?
Does anyone else have this issue?
The brushes in the tool panel are a combination of settings that have been saved for quick access. The brush type, as set in the brush menu is just one parameter of the brush in the tool panel.
The icon is based on the base brush type, the name is just a name, you can call them whatever you like.
You can make multiple brushes in the toolshelf. More than one of which may use the same brush type but have other differerent parameters that affect how the brush interacts with the mesh
Oh thanks. I think I have it now.
