Painting with a stencil


#1

I am having a go at painting in Mudbox '11 demo. Brought my obj in and I have made a quick file to use as a stencil but when I use the brush to paint that stencil alot of the detail is lost on the mesh. Its almost like it is applied like a thin transparent layer rather that fully opaque.

Was wondering how to overcome this? When using a stencil do you have to keep applying the stencil over a given area to build the opacity up or something like that? Thanks

Actually I figured it out…I was using brush instead of Projection brush. Works fine now. And I have to say that 2011 feels alot nicer than 2010. I dont know whether its the change in UI with those gun metal greys or what have you. The painting side of Mudbox is an absolute dream! So simple and elegant :slight_smile:
