I knew someone was going to mention something along those lines! I think that the inconsistency is from the user's visual perspective rather than a technical one. Selecting a brush happens to be a similar operation to selecting a texture (or selecting anything related to visual data for that matter) in that regard despite what happens underneath.
I guess it isn't really a serious problem, when people learn how it really works, but it shouldn't be too hard to solve either. Regardless of this, thanks for all the work on the sculpting. And I trust that whatever happens, it will be good for blender :) On 7/23/10, Jason Wilkins <jason.a.wilk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Brushes are ID blocks, not types, so its completely consistent I think. > The brush 'type' is the 'tool' and it is selected using a drop down menu > like texture types. > > > On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 1:09 AM, Luke Frisken <l.fris...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Sound's good to me Jason!
