Hi, I want to sculpt with brush as seen below. Is it possible to have this kind of brush? It is the brush similar to sculptris, which the brush “wrap” around the mesh. With this kind of brush I know exactly which part of mesh I am working on. I hope you understand what I mean. Thanks:p

Nasty, however get used to it.
However, on brush properies (radius, strength, autosmooth, “area plane” (see?) you can change it to view plane. In most cases areaplane is the normal. If Twist brush, you might find viewplane a little better. (TIP)

There was a gsoc project years ago to have this kind of “on surface” brush display in Blender, unfortunately it never made it into “master”, same as several amazing stuff proposed :

maybe one day in the future some dev will give a look to that code again
