Is it normal that Gradient tool doesnt work while Vertex or Face selection enabled? Makes it borderline useless
Hey, you mean Weight Paint tool?
As I see, it is made to use with faces, instead of vertices/edges, because there’s no reason to paint vertices/edges, when they, in fact, are parts of the faces.
Check out this one video. I think it explanes something you asking about
I do not need schooling on what weight paint does. (And it works on vertices without a hitch since bone weights are VERTEX attribute) I’ve weight painted dozens of characters in my life. What I’m asking is about one specific tool in Weight Paint mode. Creating a Face or Vertex selection prevents it from working, while it is not an issue for other tools.
Your video link doesnt mention it anywhere BTW. The author even says that Weight Paint cannot properly paint backfacing polys, while Gradient tool was introduced to solve exactly that.
