15.  Smoothing:

Le

ft click on the mouse to make the surface inside a pen plane. The plane is determined by the first click. Press and hold CTRL to cut off details that are running over the plane.

 

With a call of command "Smoothing" an additional menu "Plane tool" with a set of options opens:


- Normal source (This option determines if normal and point for the plane should be taken from the first click point or from the current point)

- Smoothing mode (This option determines the working mode of plane tool - (1) - to make surface plane, (2) - to cut off parts over the plane, (3) - to fill holes under the plane):


- Degree (This option defines how pressure slider influences the plane degree - (1) maximal degree, (2) - depends on pressure slider):


 

  1. Sculptural modeling

16.1. Point on a bottom panel, in menu "Tools". Select "Sculptural modelling".

 

16.2. Point the cursor to dropping list «Current mode» you will see such choice:

 


16.2.1 (F1) Drag with pen. Drag the surface piece. Press CTRL to drag along average normal.

 

16.2.2. (F2) Select and transform. In this mode you can select surface part and modify it - move, rotate or scale.

Select this mode you will see adding  such menu:

 


In dropping list you can see  five such work mode (in the brackets before name work mode are indicated  corresponding  them hot keys):

- Contract. Contract the selection.

- Clear. Clear all selection.

- Increase. Grow the selection value on 10%.

- Wide. Make the intermediate area of selection more wide.

- Store. Store selection to the file.

- Restore. Restore selection from the file.

 

16.2.3.(F3) Free transform. In this mode you can add control points and drag them. Every point limits surface motion. Select point and press 'del' to erase point.

Select this mode you will see adding  such menu:

- Show selection. Show selection that corresponds to the selected point.

- Store. Store handlers positions to the file.

- Restore. Restore handlers position from file. This operation will add handlers from the file to existing handlers.

- Edge hardness. Increase this value if you want to transform more rigid pieces.
