[Mudbox] Any "Geometry Angle Limit" for Paintbrush tool?

mrlafle

I'm trying to paint on this ant creature's eye, which is already well-defined by the high-poly mesh. To paint only the eye shape, I could painstakingly follow the edge of it on a low brush size, and then fill the rest later. But I was wondering if there was a way for Mudbox to detect the crease in the geometry, and do all that tedious work for me?  

If not, I'll just right down to hand-tracing....

You could just try using an inverted dry brush, if memory serves.

[Photoshop] Color Replacement Tool works well...

if that bubble does have a single uv shell you could select and isolate it... mudbox does not paint on hidden faces...

if that bubble is a polyshell you could use the shortcut v + doubble click to select the faces...

That would work, but it paints on both sides of the crease, which defeats the purpose.

have you tried the angle based falloff..?
its in the falloff tab in the brush settings...

I have, but I can't get it to do what I want. It just seems to meddle with the brush's performance.
Also the bubble does have its own shell in the low poly, but at the level it's sculpted, the shell doesn't match the shape anymore.
