I noticed that from his early tutorials too. When he talks, it sounds like he knows you personally, and is a good friend. And maybe that's what sets him apart from just a tutorial guy

[@jvaria9797]

For some guys who can't visually see the Face Sets at 16:48, 1. Check upper right corner at the viewport with the ben diagram button (display) - the mask visibility settings must be checked. 2. Check if your subsurf modifier has realtime off. (The monitor shaped button).

[@Fireflyepic]

Here's my guess as to what normal radius means. You know how the brush rotates around in 3 dimensions to hug the mesh? Well, when doing cloth you get a lot of little bumps, and so the brush would be rotating all over the place. So, instead of sampling a single face for the normal, it samples several faces to decrease the brush jumping all around. Normal radius allows you to change how large that sample radius is.

[@classicyup3306]

Hmm..interesting you could be right!

[@fcat2148]

Not quite what it does. Normal Radius is an existing feature for normal sculpting brushes in Blender. Having a higher value will mask out areas in the falloff area of the brush that are of extreme contrasting normals compared to the are being directly influenced. I don't know if I explained it correctly but it essentially is used to preserve sharp edges while sculpting.

[@Fireflyepic]

​@@fcat2148 You sure about that? I went into blender and tested it, my theory seems to be correct. A larger blender radius value causes the brush hugging the mesh to jump around less, and a value of 0 causes the brush to align only to the normal directly where the mouse cursor is. I noticed no such difference with the sharpness of the edges.

[@Fireflyepic]

Andrew, it's been a while since you posted something that was useful to me (I've reached quite proficient stage) but these videos have been a godsend. My own efforts with the cloth brush were especially bad, but now, with your help, so much better. I was gonna add a render of an old couch model with bits re-made using your techniques, but y'know, I'm old and have no idea how. Suffice to say, where I changed stuff is so obvious, and so much better. Thank you.

16:55 It was at this point when this step didn't work that I realised that, having wasted an hour unable to manipulate all but a small triangular area on my cushion for some reason, I had gone back to the backup cushion I saved earlier, from before applying the UV seams, and had long since applied the subsurf modifier, and also hadn't re-backed up the cushion. And as such, I have had to go all the way back to the beginning of video 2 to do it all again from scratch. I feel a bit better after twenty literal minutes of wailing "nooooo" over and over without pause.

[@antonhoawoad7515]

The sunlight is a great example of sub surface scattering on your face

[@Triastase]

From the tooltip text I would say that the "Normal Radius" Setting determines the radius in which vertices are used to compute the normal of the surface you are using the brush on. So if it's set to 0.5 it will only consider parts of the mesh that are within half the brush radius to get the "up" direction for the brush.

[@DerpyDerp254]

For anyone who runs into the problem of they can't sculpt at all on objects they want to, go back to layout mode and select that object in object mode, then switch back to sculpting.

For those people stuck can't use Draw Face Sets (16:40) -> on your subsurf Modifier Hide icon "Realtime"

[@TheScarvig]

normal radius does exactly what the tooltip (6:19) says i guess.... some of the operations (mostly the Push) require a direction in which they act. and for that the normal of the surface will be used. the factor describes the size of the inner (orange) circle in relation to the outer (orange) circle seen at 2:21. the inner circle is used to get the average normal over the area and so push in this example will not only push straight down but also push off to the side once you have created as divet and move you cursor

[@SailingLilith]

@BlenderGuru the Normal Radius is the size the sphere that calculates the normal in relation to the normals at the edge of the sphere. This addition makes hard surface sculpts easier as the Normal Radius settings with a scrape brush can preserve the angles of adjacent normal faces for example, making more defined edges with less smoothing.

17:00 Face Sets -> Init Face Sets -> By UV Seam isn't working for me :(. I saw the comments with potential solutions, but no dice. Sub surface modifiers have been applied already (so no modifier exists), masks and face sets are enabled (I can see the face sets if I draw them manually). Any ideas?

17:40 I noticed it aswell. Another issue is with auto-merge. When you have mesh that has vertices close it sometimes automerges them when you for example move it in edit mode.

[@DavidAllen_0]

I used to have that issue in older versions, but in both 1.83.1 and 1.9, it no longer does that. Not sure what the setting was, so maybe in order to fix it, it requires having to reset to factory defaults? That's my only guess because it's no longer an issue in this version for me.

[@Lanaur_]

The cloth brush works well on big forms if you have less subdivisions. If you remember, you said that more subdivs would make more wrinkles when simulating, and that's kindda the same concept here, adapted to the brush. That's why I like to use multires (in 2.9 for me)
