The big Blender Sculpt Mode thread (Part 1)

Yes, it seems like a crazy decision that makes no sense. A really important feature that people have been asking for for years gets added(to the right place, the pivot menu) and then gets removed and placed in a weird dropdown that doesn’t even need to exist? Strange decision.

Not directly related to the pivot UI issue, but to Sculpt Mode UI in general: I’m currently exploring the Blender Atelier: Sculpt add-on for a BlenderNation review (Cubebrush link, Blender Market link). It provides an impressively comprehensive expansion of the Sculpt Mode tools, and includes customizable Sculpt Mode UI elements. Here’s the manual if you want to check out the features.

It’s my 3dsMax pivot point brain. Editing the pivot(origin) was one of the first things I looked for coming from Max. It’s very important for me working on modular game asset design. I have a script in Max that I hit a hotkey and pivot(origin) is set to selected vert/edge/face/object/or centre of selection, so edit mode makes more sense for me for precise vertex pivot placement.

I’m using Originie, by @kkar. Offers lots of pivot auto-placement options.

@Musashidan

with Clay Strips, where do I find the square alpha it seems to be using? The texture swatch is just blank. Or is the squareness just controlled by the falloff?

Coming soon to a Blender near you.
